I use the command line every day, but can't be bothered with all the compression options of tar and company.

zip -r thing.zip things/ and unzip thing.zip are temptingly more straightforward.

Need more compression? zip -r -9 thing.zip things/. Need a faster option? Use a smaller digit.

The problem with that is that it will not preserve flags and access rights.
