I used to use Netnewswire, but in wen through a phase of being clunky,  
and difficult to organise. I now use Vienna, which is perfect for my  
needs: it renders content in a multitude of ways (which is useful when  
I'm trying to wade through 500+ articles a day) and is flexible enough  
to give me what I like to see. I much prefer to keep my RSS out of my  
browser, and I have no need to use my browser for RSS links.

I tried the integrated RSS in Safari and in Apple Mail, but I prefer  
to make my mail client simply that, and I prefer to use my web browser  
for web work (since I spend most days working in this environment)

On the other hand, I've yet to find a way to cram all my feeds into  
anything sensible on my phone.
