> I've been involved in the RSS world since the beginning and I've never clicked on an RSS link and expected it to be rendered in a "nice" way, nor have I seen one.

Maybe it's more for people who have no idea what RSS is and click on the intriguing icon. If they weren't greeted with a load of what seems like nonsense for nerds there could have been broader adoption of RSS.

Why? Wouldn't just see a different view of the same website that had that intriguing icon and go "ok, so what?"

If they don't know what an RSS feed is, seeing a stylized version isn't really going to help them understand, imho.
