I remember Stuffit from 4-5 ago as a program that 'just works'. Todaythe UI is 'different' for no apparent reason. It's not exactly hard to use, but not very intuitive either.The website is horrible. First they present you with 'deluxe' price - way too high for this kind of tool IMO. When you eventually get to the downloads, the software is offered 'for free' if you order some stupid crap from some random companies.Come on!
It's hard to make any worse 'first impression' than this. I'd like to use your software, but you make it near impossible to like it. Another first:To download a trial a CC is needed:. The trial version is free for 30 days, but a credit card is required. If you do not cancel within 30 days, a payment of the full price $49.99 will be processed. We will verify your credit card is valid and in good standing through a credit card authorization and a 'pending transaction' may be noted on your account. If you use a debit card, those funds may not be available to you during the trial period.
If you decide to cancel within 30 days, the pending transaction will be canceled within 48-72 hours.So if YOU dont cancel your trial, they will bill your CC - this is a first.Stay away from these guys! Developers and webdesigners at MithMicro must qualify for the worst UI designers of all time. It's near impossible to find the most basic fundamental pertinent imfo on their website about Stuffit such as the latest version numbers, updates, etc.

The software itself is the most archaic stupid UI I have ever seen it's as if they don't want to have the most intuitive and easiest user interface for people - just the opposite. They have been like this for decades and no doubt will continue the practice.

The Unarchiver still handles those just fine, even on El Capitan (10.11) beta. It boggles my mind the amount of legacy hostility people have for a free app.
Stuffit Expander is not Stuffit. It's a free expander that sometimes does a better job at UNcompressing files than anything else on the market. Stuffit is obsolete.
We all know that. But Stuffit Expander doesn't just work on.sit or.sitx, it works on a ridiculous number of STANDARD formats, too. If you want to complain about Stuffit or the.sit format, then do that under the proper title. The expander is a valuable product all on it's own.
Truth be told, I don't see the hostility directed at Stuffit Deluxe. I am a big user of cloud applications, like Dropbox, OneDrive, and so on, and like the idea of being able to compress my flies as small as possible for purposes of storage.And while storage via hard drive may be cheaper than its ever been, it's not free, so i like to maximize space as much as possible, which is why I rely not only on Stuffit Deluxe, but its encryption (when necessary).If you don't need it, don't buy it, though I find it useful, use it regularly (though it's a bit more expensive than I wish it were, its price isn't prohibitive. Stuffit Expander was indeed indispensable when it was included with all Mac OS installations. But at some point in the evolution of OS X, I don't remember when, the OS gained the ability to compress and uncompress zip archives. And self-decompressing dmg files became the most common disk image file format for transmitting Mac software and archiving files. Meanwhile, Disk Utility can create a variety of different image files. V2 cigs online. So Stuffit Expander gradually became less important than it once was - and the old Drop-Stuff went the way of the Dodo.
Nevertheless, I still occasionally encounter archive files in a format that OS X cannot handle. On these occasions I find Expander quite indispensable.
Smith Micro picked up the Stuffit franchise some years ago and has been striving to make the product relevant by expanding its capabilities. It includes some tools that a select clientele will find useful, but it no longer has broad appeal on the Mac. I give Smith Micro props, though, for making the effort to keep the product alive. Unfortunately they goofed a while back when they renamed it Stuffit Destinations. Rather than making it more appealing, they just created brand name confusion.
I think they're back now with Stuffit Deluxe - though at $50 the price is daunting.In 'the old days' the free Stuffit Expander was supposed to cultivate a market for the paid product Drop Stuff. Because hard drive space was severely constrained at the time, such a market did, indeed, exist. Surprisingly, however, you could use Drop Stuff indefinitely in demo mode - and it was fully functional. That market model was not really viable, though, so the trial period for Drop Stuff's successors is limited. Unfortunately for Smith Micro, the market is also limited.Be that as it may, to put it politely it's short-sighted to dismiss Stuffit Expander out of hand. Just because you don't need it doesn't mean that no one will.
That Smith Micro continues to develop and support Stuffit Expander - and continues to offer it for free - should be evidence of its value to anyone with a half-way open mind.
