RSS didn't really go away. Most sites still have RSS feeds, and I've never found a site I actually wanted an RSS feed for that didn't have one. RSS doesn't get promoted along with the advertiser-friendly social media panopticon anymore, but it's still there.

Still there, yes. Easily syncable across everything thanks to Google? Not so much. It went from "standard" to "relic."

Every reader can import and export your feeds as OPML. I never got the appeal of Google Reader.

The ability to keep your feeds synced across as many platforms as IMAP..?

I use feedly which is syncd from my phone to computer. The app on Android and iPhone is great. They have good keyboard shortcuts in the browser. I got it right when Google shut down and simply logged in with my Google account - no importing necessary.

It's also got a hook in IFTTT, so my saved articles are automatically added to my Evernote.

My wife also uses Feedly. However, I mostly used desktop... and Feedly on Mac is dung.
