Personally I choose tt-RSS for a reason: human quickness going through posts. I can have all my feeds arranged, just a line per entry, scrolling mark them as read, opening one open a side panel without touching visually the current post and threads list, being on a desktop with a 21:9 screen it's a perfect mach. I've used Miniflux before but it's less quick skimming posts, opening one, come back to the compact list etc.
Before, but very before in the past, I've tried few desktops one, and the final choice was a Java/SWIG one RSSOwl, heavy but effective enough compared to others. I've also used for a period elfeed (Emacs) but it's too slow to read feeds for me, Emacs offer UI for focused read, while for a large amount of low importance posts I need something allowing a very quick pass even if something get lost.
A thing I miss in ALL feed readers I've tried so far is real-world filtering abilities like fuzzy-matching titles to reasonably show only one per kind of news (let's say you follow many newspapers and nearly all report the same news about an earthquake somewhere, there is no point in seeing let's say 12 posts on the same event), eventually offering a button to show all the matched if I want to go through them. Another is historical analysis, let's say every years there are wildfires around the world, I'd like to see from news I've read if they are almost the same of the last year or more, if they start to appear earlier and last longer etc, it's still fuzzy keywords matching, nothing so hard, but still absent in all, I imaging I'm one of the very few interested in such automation to use feeds as a personal aggregator. Gnus with scoring offer something similar, but well, it's too slow to really skim things, and easy to break as well.
