Making a .sit.hqx file is not significantly more difficult for the developer

Making either type of file is trivially simple.

The difference is, gzip came bundled with my Mac, for free. Why should I pay for something that offers zero benefit - for me, or for the end user of my applications?

Much more important difference is that .gz is an open format and can be unpacked whatever way I (the user) want: in Terminal, or via Opener.

With .sit, I am stick with the disaster of proprietary and bug-swarming Stuffit Expander.
