I love NNW, especially the new iteration since Brent got it back. Mac-assed software at its best.
The other day I was searching for how to turn a youtube channel into an RSS feed and tried all sorts of convoluted instructions for finding channel IDs, etc. At some point I thought this is the kind of user-centric thing that NNW has probably already thought of, and sure enough, if you just paste in a youtube channel URL as the feed, NNW sorts it out and creates a feed for you.

While I don't doubt that NNW has great UX, feed auto-discovery is a table stakes feature for any RSS client.
I thought YouTube had native RSS feeds for channels?
It does - I think the praise being sung was just that you don't need to know how to construct them. YouTube doesn't have a little orange rectangle "RSS" link to click, or anything.
