Rss Reader Survey

I'm looking for the perfect RSS reader, and thought i'd get your input. Thus, a new AbbeNormalSurvey is here, asking would you rather have a web-based or a regular application for reading RSS feeds? Your comments are also very much welcome.

I quite like FeedReader? (see http://www.feedreader.com/ ) on Windows - it's freeware and provides a nice view of headlines. It also alerts you from the system tray with a pop-up balloon whenever it sees a new headline - ideal for RecentChangesJunkies... See TWikiCodev:FeedReader for some more info. Having an RSS client on your desktop is definitely useful - it's the difference between InstantMessaging? and web-based email.

I also tried Headline Viewer but it seemed very heavyweight and I couldn't see how to add arbitrary RSS feeds. --RichardDonkin
