I still love RSS like many people in this thread. I've been using them to aggregate and publicise a lot of the content that the developers we work with create https://web.gdedeck.com/ https://web.gdedeck.com/ (I created an aggregation client for myself) and likewise our team is starting to publish more activities https://devwebfeed.appspot.com https://devwebfeed.appspot.com - RSS is a great fit for consumption and sharing...
However there are still a lot of issues that I see.
* discovery is still an issue - more and more people are removing link rel alternate from their content so it's becoming harder to find the feeds.
* ATOM vs RSS is still a thing even though all the feeds that I parse are actually mostly ATOM namespaced RSS feeds.
* syndication and push - Pubsubhubbub is still hard and not widely supported.
* Cross-Origin and HTTPS - for my needs I'd love to be able to fetch content directly from a web client and not have to proxy the content, however the web's sandbox model means that I need the pages to be on https and have the correct CORS headers - there's no clear incentive though for publishers to support this though.
