I remember, when I was in 5th and 6th grade (8 years ago), we traded
everything with ARJ. ZIP was only used on shareware CD-ROMs, almost
nobody was using it at home... About 4 or 5 years ago I changed my
preferred format to RAR (it had noticeably better compression), and
now I'm changing to 7z <www.7-zip.com> (better compression than both
RAR and ACE, and much faster than RAR).

That was one of the reasons why we used it (and ZIPs disk spanning is
still horrible - to extract insert 1st disk, then insert last disk,
and insert 1st disk again to start extracting; besides you can't copy
the files to HD and then extract them...)
