Love the article and agree with you but the normal persons take is exactly right - "isn't .zip a file extension and couldn't the average person think that it just leads to downloading a zip file or something like that? Aren't zip files kinda weird?"

However I would read luke's articles anytime, no matter the tld.

Luke defends all the problems with .zip but doesn't present a case why .zip is good.

I'm okay with it being neutral, neither good nor bad.
