I have just noticed that the latest version is distributed exe-only. This is mildly uncomfortable for me, since I run my windows client in a Portable Apps wrapper (works almost like a charm, and way easier to keep backed up this way. Besides, I just like the tidiness the Portable Apps bring)

Are .zip releases gone for good?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
