7z x to extract makes sense. unzip even more. No need for crazy mnemonics or colorful explanation images. It's complete nonsense that people are ok with that.

I also don’t see your problems with tar; it does one thing and it does it good enough.
The problem is the usage of the tool which people invent different mnemonics for because it's UX is stuck in 1986 and the only people who remember the parameters are those who use it daily.
Similar thing for LaTeX: it's so absurdly crusty and painful to work with it's only used by people who have no alternative.
//ETA
Also, I don't want to be mean towards the maintainers of LaTeX. I'm sorry if I made any LaTeX maintainer reading this upset or feel inferior. Working on the LaTeX code is surely no easy endeavour and people who still do that in 2023 deserve a good amount of respect.
But everytime I had to work with LaTeX or any of its wrappers was just pure frustration at the usage and the whole project. The absolute chaos of different distributions, templates, classes and whatnot is something I never want to experience again.
For all I care it goes on the same garbage dump as LaTeX.
I avoid it and use zip or 7z if I can. But for some crazy reason some people stil insist on using that garbage tool and I have no idea why.
tar is just the worst shell command in existence. Why do people still bother with it?
Poor man's voice was stolen and now while he cannot use it anymore you make mean jokes :(

Sorry your dumb UwU
And Vampire Survivors just switched from phaser.js to Unity - wonder if they regret that now.
I did buy one of those Zenva bundles some time ago for Godot - seems to have very similar content to this one. It's alright. Target audience are beginners but I suspect that we'll get a lot more beginner tutorials on YT anyways.
When a gold rush gets going don't go digging for gold but sell shovels.
That sounds like a company I want to completely rely on to develop a product, a company and my whole dev career.
100% of tarballs that I had to deal with were instances of "pack this directory up just as it is" because it is usually people distributing source code who insist on using tarballs.
