The compression won't ever be changing, unless as demonstar55 stated it's to another *nix format. The reason is very simple, these formats preserve the files' ownership and group information. They also come stock on nearly every Linux distro, they are very fast, and use minimal resources. All the development work on PEQ and for myself locally are done on Linux boxes, so the choice is made for me pretty much.

Not being able to drag and drop is typical with 7zip, it's a very buggy client. WinRar works better when dealing with *nix formats, that's what I use when I have to toggle files back and forth.
