I don't think RSS is a niche. What major email client does not have RSS integration? What major websites do not offer RSS feeds?

I don't know about you, but the only people I know who actually use RSS are more technically advanced than 90% of the internet users I meet.

RSS is too complicated and constrained for the "average joe" on the street, which is why most "non-techies" I know just Google wherever they want to surf. Google speaks a language most people understand, while RSS still sounds like useless jibber jabber to these casual users.
