Such it is.
I had thought, from a brief exchange with the author about a feed which
never worked, that a filter is needed for any atom feed. But I only applied
filters to problem feeds and never looked farther into it.

Mainly, I have been highly satisified for 4 years with its fast, minimal
intereface and light resource usage. e.g., you can issue a command when you
find it in the help menu rather than quiting the help menu first. The whole
interface seems to work in that clean, minimal-key-presses way.
Midori and elinks supliment it well and I have it switching between them on
whether I am in X.
I find it sensible too. Probably a personal predisposition. For example,
there is something about the logic of Opera's interface that forever defies
me (even though I was using it on Win98 when it debued at a price around $29
plus upgrade charges.) So I use a plethora of other options that work along
the lines I am anticipating.
