NetNewsWire is now my rss reader of choice

I just can’t be satisfied with any rss readers for OS X. It seems they all have strange flaws, but mostly what I can’t stand is any delay in gui responsiveness. This is why I won’t use Firefox on Mac. I just can’t stand that nanosecond delay of opening a new window or tab. There is something sluggish about it. So after using Pulp Fiction rss reader (even paying for it), I finally became frustrated. It literally took probably a quarter of a second to load entries, even if they’d already been loaded before. What gives? This is not a $25 product, sorry. Today I purchased NetNewsWire for $30 and am very happy. It feels very fast, and going between entries is instantaneous. My only complaing is I can’t seem to be able to delete the entries; they stick around in ‘read’ status. No big deal, though, everything else about this reader shines. Recommended!
