Its support for zip archives is sporadic at best. On one GNU/Linux system I tried it, it insisted that a .zip file format was unsupported, although its Windows version that was older unzipped it with no trouble at all. Go figure. And the fact that it doesn't have a switch to make it silent, and you need to throw away its stderr (which means you cannot display error messages) is yet another nuisance. > Even though it's quite rarely used format, sometimes when I try to visit > a 7z archive in Emacs, I see only binary data.

I have nothing against adding support for 7z archives, although that would be a new feature.
