As I mentioned recently I’ve switched from Windows to Apple on my work desktop.
I was using Entourage for email, but switched to the Apple Mail client the other day – mainly due to Entourage’s poor performance (I may come back to that).
One of the nice features of Apple’s Mail App is that supports RSS. I’ve been using Thunderbird for a long time, so I naturally assumed that a commercial product would at least be able to match Thunderbird in terms of features.
Sadly it can’t.
The one major flaw is that you cannot import OPMLs. You can only add single RSS addresses.
Yes there are work arounds, but they’re not sane. They may work, but they do not strike me as worth the effort. I’ll simply stick to using Bloglines instead.
The question that begs to be asked is how a company like Apple missed a key feature like this.
Oh well …
