I'm still using BlogLines as my RSS reader. The fact that it is browser-based has, thus far, won out over the interface annoyances. And, it has one cool feature that NetNewsWire didn't have (nor will it likely ever have, as its way outside the scope of a desktop app.). BlogLines lets you create an email address that will show up as an RSS feed. So, I used this email address to subscribe to a couple of mailing lists. Rather than having these messages (even in digest form) clog up my in-box, they now happily show up among my 100+ RSS feeds, allowing for easy scanning and reading.
BlogLines isn't the only service that performs this Email to RSS trick. In fact, Andy Carvin has reviewed a couple of the options. Its worth a read, if you're interested in this sort of thing.
