the fear of missing out a better compression

Kind of redundant. Both
.zip
and.rar
store an index of files within the archive and are a bit 'inside-out' when it comes what we get fromtar.gz
.That is, ZIP is pretty close to what you'd get if you first gzipped all your files and then put them into a
.tar
.RAR does a little more (if I remember correctly), such as generating a dictionary of common redundancies between files and then uses that knowledge to compress the files individually, but better. Something akin to a
.tar
file is still the result though.
