I use .rtfd because it keeps graphics such as .jpg .tiff .gif in
their unadulterated form that I can drag out or even edit by using
the finder Show Contents feature. I can, and often do, drag out the
internal tex.rtf and use it that way. I find it an effective way to
get rid of place-holder graphics that I can't locate otherwise! :-)
Of course .rtfd is Mac-only, but nothing can be perfect, it
seems! :-) at least it's not a Nisus-only thing.
As for space savings with .zrtf, one could always archive the files
with a finder, but that is not so convenient. What I would wish for
is that Nisus would simply do it that way on their own, so one could
change .zrtf to .zip, expand it, and have an rtf file identical to
one zipped by the finder...
but even Geoff Heard has moved on while I lag behind with old Apple
products that just don't die! :-) but it takes so long to learn all
the nuances and how to cope with new iphone-type stuff...
