I'm one of the people who really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the hassle-free nature of it, and it basically did what I expected to in a decent interface.

Most other solutions that I've found make some assumptions about what I'll be reading or how I'll read it and try to force me into that, claiming it's for my own benefit.

In the end, I ended up self-hosting "Selfoss". I have to keep it up to date and occasionally fix a bug when it won't read a stream properly, but it basically does what I want otherwise.
