it's not just the brushed metal, it's a clunky UI. I tried and tried to get used to it, even ponied up for a month of shrook.com. so, check off news life, pulp fiction, newsfire, and now shrook. back to netnewswire....

I've tried NetNewsWire, NewsFire, NewsMac, and Vienna. Shrook is my favorite. One thing i really like about it is its triple pane view. Works really good on a wide screen mac.

I really want to use this app, it's really attractive.

but I can't use just the keyboard to parse through feeds, and why is there no sorting by date --- or even meta info in the post-detail view? I'm going back to shrook, which is free and much better for me at the moment.

I own this app but I still prefer Safari, go figure.

My old laptop doesn't have the extended screen space of some of the newer macbooks, so I love how Newsfire makes things work with a two-pane design, instead of three panes like Vienna, NetNewsWire, etc. I got used to the keyboard control and now I can't go back.

1.5 is out and NewsFire is now free, which sucks because I paid for lifetime upgrades...

I paid for newsfire which is now free and I do not use it. I LOVE Vienna which is also free works great and looks like a Leopard app. it is opensource free.

I don't feel bad for paying. Watanabe deserves the money. It's an excellent reader. I've been using it since 2004 and I have 0 complaints. It's beautiful.

Have you tried this free version of NewsfIre? If you did, you probably have noticed that you cannot delete David Watanabe's blog RSS feed. That's the main reason why I sent it to the trash.
But there's more... Vienna and NetNewsWire are now both free. (Vienna has always been free.) And, IMHO, they're both better than NewsFire. They both have better (and nicer) interfaces, they are both easier to customize and both have built-in browsers (NewsFire has not).
Just one more thing... When NetNewsWire went free, NewsGator refunded the users who had bought a licence on the latest months. Why didn't the developer of NewsFire do just the same?

@tee_cee: I toooootally agree! I deleted the app when I noticed that Dave's feed cannot be removed. Unacceptable, although I know it can be deleted by using a little 'trickie' ...

@ dway:
I'm curious about that "trickie"...

Beautiful this app may be, but unless you only subscribe to a small handful of feeds it simply isn't designed to handle the load.

I bought this app way back when it was still a shareware title... good app, loved using it. They only thing I hated is that it couldn't sync my feeds between my macpro and my macbook... which is why I switched to newsnetwire when it became free... newgator syncs it all... BUT I do like the interface and the way it blends into the OS... if only there was a way to sync newsgator with newsfire...

superb. this is a fabulous application in every regard, absolutely worth the cost of admission. there's more room for features, which I expect are forthcoming.

I'd like to pick items in preview and have cascade info as well as style defition and stylesheet location, for example --- more of some of the behavior in xylescope, which doesn't have any authoring capability like cssedit.

2.5 is sick...Tabs!

Just a beautiful piece of software and very mature

The code hinting in CSSEdit is so fast and light-weight it makes that worth the money just for that alone.

Without question the best css editor for mac. With the ability to override your uploaded style sheets with local ones in the preview mode, and the xray mode which allows you to see and identify every element in the preview, and the ability to sort your elements on the side bar, code suggest, and much much much more, cssedit just straight up owns.

Version 2.0 is so incredibly good I bought it. Allows editing css/html/php pages from Cyberduck.
