Lately I have seen many people reporting to be afraid of Gnus configuration.
There is nothing to be afraid of there. It is a bit like Org : you 
can keep it simple and short or very long and complex.
Gnus is definitely the best mail/news/(rss) reader I have used.
But there are 2 big drawbacks for me:
- Emacs is not multi-threaded and if you use Gnus heavily, it is painful
not being able to type in a window while Gnus is sorting out your stuff
- I wish Emacs to be able to actually render HTML in a buffer (w3m not 
a valid option under Windows at least)

Hi Carmine!

Thanks for the pointer.

On the one hand, I do not have any Gnus experience and from the
things I already read about Gnus configuration, I want to keep it
that way. On the other hand, Gnus does not offer something to sync
with for the Android platform AFAIK.

So, yeah, Gnus/Gwene might be a possibility for people who do only
read RSS feeds within their Emacs setup. But for now, I want to try
to find a solution which is not that far away from my Reader/NewsRob
experience.

And yes, I also assume that this are requirements that
Emacs/Org-mode is not able to meet (yet). But you never know what
good hints you will get on ML like this :-)
