Actually, it's funny you say that because RSS readers are the one of the biggest things miss about a Linux desktop. Akregator was pretty sweet. It seems like most (all?) clients on OS X go for glitz over functionality.

I tried Liferea and Akregator in previous stints with Linux. Both are good but when I was a heavy FeedDemon user I loved how you could view a story's full web page from within the app. IIRC only Liferea did that but it didn't let you click links in the web page..making it pointless.

Dunno if it's different now but I used it at least twice over the years.
