I can understand limiting the focus to graphical clients, but, like a review of text editors that limits itself to ones with a GUI, you might just leave something important out. IMHO that is rss2email. The concept is simple, gating RSS to email, where it can be filtered, sorted etc and read with your favorite mail reader (even a GUI mail reader if you like). This works really well.

Based on my experience maintaining it for Debian, it's quite popular in certian sets, so it's a pity it was left out.
