What RSS reader do you use?

I currently use MultiNewsReader for konfabulator. While it's ok, I would like to see if anyone else has anything better.

My favorite has been RSS Bandit, freeware for Windows.
I use the one on my Desktop Sidebar

I've been using SharpReader.
NetNewsWire Lite on my Mactop, nothing on my PC as yet.

If you used bloglines, you could use the same thing on any computer you use. That's my main reason for using Bloglines and not a native app, but I've really grown to like it over time and I'm unlikely to switch to any non-online aggregator.

I used to use AmphetaDesk, a browser-based aggregator, but decided that web-based RSS feeds were, well, annoying. NNN works nicely for me, and I'm more likely to be on my Mac than on my PC anyway. MacOS is truly groovy.

I was taking a look at a list of aggregators and wondered what you all had to say about them. Are you still using the same readers from a year and a half ago or have you switched? Which features do you use most and how easy are they to use?
Thanks.

I'm using Great News - no complaints so far. It's easy to set up and organize feeds.
I use http://reader.google.com.
The updated gooogle reader's good enough that I started using it.
Right. Viva Bloglines. I've been using it forever.

Agreed. I switched to Google Reader from Bloglines about six months ago and haven't looked back.

I've used the free version of Newsgator Online for over a year and I find it workable. They're in the midst of an upgrade in which they're trying to make it more AJAXy. We'll see how that turns out.

Still using NetNewsWire Lite. It does largely what I want and doesn't annoy me.
I use it largely as "this is something I want to pay attention to", so my brain isn't burdened with trying to remember the large number of things that I want to pay attention to.
Which makes me want to write my own, with other features, etc., to keep track of my knowledge better...
And that is dangerous land.

Yet another Google Reader user here. Unlike the other RSS readers I've tried, it just does what I want, without having to screw around with much.
I tried FeedDemon and Bloglines, but neither felt natural to use for me.

Google Reader, mostly because I can read it on my phone as well.
129 feeds and still works like a charm.

Recently switched from Bloglines to GoogleReader(in Firefox with some per-site CSS plugin that changes GReader up a bit) - much better than Bloglines, IMO.
And I was a hardcore Bloglines fan.
