People do complain about FBs feed but they don't really care. If I were to ask you whether you'd like to sleep one more hour in the morning then you answering "yes" wouldn't imply that you don't get enough sleep. A technically better solution alone isn't convincing. They need a service that delights at least some people. And so I think their chances would be higher (but still pretty low) if they were spending serious amounts of money on a campaign to promote RSS and a service similar to google reader. That way they'd at least get tech-savy people on board who would then act as evangelists for them.
