Hmmm... I can recall making the same argument when StuffIt first
appeared. "Why use StuffIt, when everything in the Mac world is already
archived with PackIt III?" Boy, was I wrong. In roughly a year, StuffIt
completely replaced PackIt III as the standard (and with good reason--
its compression and feature list were far superior.)

I'm looking forward to it. But if Diamond proves to be better, who knows?
