I use Thunderbird's built-in RSS support.  I like it for several reasons:
1. I think of feeds pretty much the same way I think of e-mail
    and usenet--a way for other people to give me a small stream
    of content to read at leisure--, so it makes perfect sense
    to have them all combined in the same program.
2. However terrible Thunderbird is, it's still better than a
    web interface.
3. see 2

My biggest complaint is that lots of feeds don't provide full content, 
and I haven't yet written something to parse RSS feeds from those sites, 
scrape the new entries, and rebuild the RSS feed properly so I never 
have to visit the site.  But that's not really Thunderbird's fault.
