Is there a non-technical reason for choosing a Syndication format?


I have a project that will need to be able to export data for feed readers. Is there a non-technical reason I should pick RSS over Atom, Atom over RSS, one of the flavors of RSS over another or anything else?

In particular, I'm looking for things like low or high adoption, difficulties/incompatibilities or particular ease with popular aggregators and the like. I've only recently begun using RSS on a daily basis in my own personal life. :)

  • This should be the answer ;) About the only NON-technical reason which has forced one's choice that I've seen is: hey, [insert any famous netizen] uses RSS!
