    I very rarely list the content of compressed files, so that doesn’t bother me much.

    Back in the day the trick to get better compression on zip files was to first make an uncompressed zip file, and then put that in a compressed zip file. tar did that all by itself!

      I mean that’s what GUI archivers do when you open the file.

      So tar is only useful for some kind of automatic workflows where archives are processed automatically. Like what package managers do.
