Like what?  I find NewsGrazer exceptional, one of the best NeXT apps I  
have.  I've used rn and nn, and YUCK, they are ugly, hard to use, and
nearly impossible to discover "nice features" as you call them.  Also,  
they are a lot harder to install. (i.e. they require installation, where  
newsgrazer you just double-click)  I've also used InterNews on macintosh,  
and find NewsGrazer superior.

Please enlighten me what I am missing.

(Can nn handle NeXT attachments the way newsgrazer can?  Also, in  
newsgrazer I can select several articles, select uudecode from a menu (or  
hit cntrl-U), and then just double click an icon, and zip I have a picture  
or a sound.  I could go on...)
