Email notifications and newsletters are much more popular than RSS/Atom, as far as I can tell. People already "get" email, and probably have an account, so it's easier to convert non-techies.

My inbox tends to be more cluttered and harder to organize though (filters vs. just dragging a feed into a folder or adding a label) so I avoid it wherever possible. Still, having things come to me that way isn't the end of the world either.
