i've heard numerous stories about the developer ignoring emails and being an all around ass to his customers. particularly concerning Acquisition.

I have no doubt that the guy can code, but if you're going to try to run a business, interacting positively with your customers is pretty important. If he didn't have the patience/skill to do so himself, he should have hired a support person. It's just good business practice.
I want to change my answer from Safari to Vienna. (Thanks stridey! )
I've completed my switch back from Safari to Firefox, and now enjoy (just as) fast browsing, without all the annoying chrashing that some of my favorite sites caused on Safari (like my public library's search pages, which drove Safari nuts).

i just don't support people with my money when they can't be polite and answer simple questions without being ignorant and/or arrogant. you're free to do what suits you best. but your attitude towards this seems to be more of a defensive move. like you're now trying to justify purchasing it, at least justifying it in your head when it's telling you this guy is no good. if you bought it, use it, but i'd ask you to speak with your wallet when a developer doesn't support his or her users in a polite fashion. he'll never receive a dime from me, and i'm speaking with my wallet. i was about to buy the app too until i seen that. i'd rather support the guys at Ranchero now because they seem to treat their customers better. i'd rather give my money to a less pretty but just as functional app when the company tries hard to make their customers happy.
Here's just my point of view. Watanabe may not be the most accommodating developer around, but last time I checked that's not a crime. I've purchased software from him, and I'd probably do it again. Here's the thing - and I'm not pointing at anyone here, just saying - who actually has the time and inclination to fire off e-mails reeking of entitlement to developers because you've noticed that his program hasn't been updated in 2 months, as opposed to the usual 1.5?

how do you even use that pile of crap? if i were to use a web based rss reader, it would be bloglines or newsgator. it's so non-intuitive. i definitely feel it's the worst of the google products, and if they continue in that trend i will be happy to switch everything over to yahoo again.

I'm inclined towards the same feeling. When it came out, I tried it, but after ten minutes of thinking it hadn't finished dealing with my feeds (granted, there are a lot of them. but still), so I closed the browser window and never turned back.
