You're right, I don't use del.icio.us, so that one doesn't matter for me. I don't see anything better about the tagging system in Feedlounge than Rojo. You can tag feeds just fine. I don't know about colored tags, but it doesn't sound like something I'd be into anyway. I don't think I ever looked at the "history" feature. What is that about? I'm not sure what exactly you mean by searching and sharing, but you can already share in Rojo. Not sure about searching, but I probably wouldn't be searching RSS feeds anyway; there are already other apps that search syndicated content pretty well (like Technocrati), which is probably why Feedlounge doesn't do it. What graph?

Cluttered, OMG, ROJO is the most cluttered feed reader out there with all of their stupid ass feed recomendations and add mojo crap. Rojo seems like they don't know when to stop. Feedlounge does charge but it's way worth it if you use RSS a lot and you want pretty much a solid and fast online client. And that's the difference feedlounge is more of a rss client (feedemon and netnewswire) where as rojo is just a feed reader (bloglines and newsgator). If you want rojo and feedlounge to pull 'em out so you can measure, here is a link that would help: http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/03/30/the-state-of-online-feed-readers/ Feedlounge has a view just like Rojo with feeds on the left and all the post titles on the right, even the option to have them expanded or not.

Feedlounge is way to cluttered / cramped with the panel layout for my tastes. Also, if you really want keyboard shortcuts, you could do greasemonkey scripts for them, but personally, I don't miss them much because Rojo is laid out in such a way that I don't really feel like I need keyboard shortcuts for now. Plus, best of all, Rojo is free. Yes, but it’s designed well enough not to need them. Feedlounge is way to cluttered / cramped with the panel layout for my tastes.
