I use Newsbeuter[1] in a Linux terminal.
It's not a GUI app or web-based, which are both plusses to me. It's also neither closed-source, nor spyware (like way too many web-based readers are).
Newsbeuter is relatively feature rich and has a decent enough interface. I'm pretty happy with it, and prefer it to the closest Linux terminal RSS reader competitor that I've found, Snownews.[2]
The main problems with it is that when feeds get large (1000+ articles), reading that feed gets to be pretty slow. This is a long-standing performance bug that has not been fixed in years. But, apart from that, if you're reading feeds with a reasonable number of article in them, it's great.

- __--__ 14y agoI used to use Newsbeuter. The deal breaker for me was the inability to hook it up to a daemon on an external server. I wound up replacing it with rss2email instead. Now I read both my email and my news in mutt! :)
- abc3 14y agoI'm a big fan of rss2email. Personally, I like doing as much as possible in a single application. Combining email and feeds feels natural to me.
