YemuZip is exclusively for Mac only, the zip file created is not compatible with Windows. The Finder’s Archive function makes zip files that contains Mac-specific information that, when extracted on a PC, looks like garbage. YemuZip lets you choose between a PC-compatible format and a Mac format that preserve all the Mac-specific metadata.

Unless you’re sure YemuZip and Mac is the only thing you’ll be using for your entire life, then go for it. Compatibility might be an issue if you’re not careful.
