NetNewsWire: the verdict

Overall, NetNewsWire is a nice rss reader, but I would rather support the open source community and use the ever improving Vienna. The one feature in NetNewsWire that I would love if I had multiple Macs or was often away from my own MacBook for extended periods of time with web access would be it's syncing feature and being able to log into NewsGator and see my feeds on the web. However, neither of those two scenarios apply to me, therefore syncing isn't a valuable feature that will get me to switch away from the great Vienna.

I guess I could be called loyal, and I am to most of my applications. If there isn't enough to get me to switch, I won't. And I can't ever see how or why anyone would have paid $30 for NetNewsWire, I know I never would have, especially when there was a great open source alternative.
