I would guess that a lot of us have arrived at the stage of thinking 
"a plague on both your houses" with the SEA/PK battles.

Along with John Wavrik I would miss the many little supporting utilities
for ARC and PK, particularly file finders that can search globally
through a HD, archives an all, as well as the menu utilities such as
SHARC and PKARCM. Hopefully these will come along if we shift over to ZOO.

I am glad that Rahul has pointed out that ZOO can be prevented from
creating a directory structure.  This may be inviting to some, but
I prefer no external choices of directories on my disk.
