Just downloaded this program to compare it to Vienna, and I gotta say, while I like the features, I'm going to stick to Vienna for one simple reason. Layout. Shrook's 4 column layout might be great on 30" widescreens, but on my 17" iMac it just seems like so much wasted space. The items list column, with previews enabled, looks great...until you try and view the article. Then it has to be pushed over to the side and narrowed so you can't even read the full article titles anymore, much less anything useful from the preview description. If there was a way to switch this program to more of a Mail style layout, with the list of articles in a top pane and the articles themselves opening up below, it would make much more sense and would make this the best newsreader I've tried. As it is though, it's just easier to read other readers.
