I was using akregator and Firefox's Sage for some time now. However, I have a dual boot setup with Windows on the other side, so akregator is not a real solution. In addition I also read many rss sites at work and there we also only have Windows.

The main problem however is to synchronise the different clients. Therefore I moved on to web-based tools like Google reader. Now I can browse the same collection of feeds from all my different computer accounts and systems.

Even though I understand that you focus your review on Linux based applications, I guess in the future we will see a move to web-based tools. This might need 2 or 3 more years, but in the end I guess it is a much better solution.
