Judging from its users' comments, StuffIt is far superior to the
current set of binary transfer tools and has already been accepted by a
large user community.

My initial comments against StuffIt were based only on its appearance on
UseNet -- I had no idea it was already very popular on other networks.

Thanks to everyone who helped correct my misconceptions,
