Lukcy for those with windows ;) Although, I do use Thunderbird which now supports RSS fine, and NNTP. Although I tend to use BottomFeeder for RSS ( Smalltalk based system ).
No its not that. I just find RSS very convenient especially since I use a rss plugin in firefox. I simply have to refresh my feeds to see if there were any new posts/topics rather than manually open all forums and messages.

There could be one big down-side: It would be difficult to see the

I'm using Omea Reader (http://www.jetbrains.com/omea_reader/) and can happily handle both my nntp & rss feeds together.

Actually, I remember by original request was for RSS announcements of
new EAPs and releases.
However I don't seem to see the request in the tracker anymore :(
