Despite the fact that I don't know what is a "high power RSS reader", I
don't read RSS myself, I will try to address your concerns.

- Sage is not that much promoted. In fact, in the team, nobody does
promotion at all, and I'll go as far as saying that nobody does anything at
all any more, due mainly to professional involvements.
- In free software, features are not just there. Someone's coding them
because he needs them. You need it ? Help yourself, or find enough people
that have the same concern than you and pay someone to do it, or sleep with
a good coder and
(s)he'll do it for you. Be imaginative and innovative. My point is,
requesting a feature is fair enough, not everybody codes (I don't), but
advocating it _should_ be there because everybody (who's that ?) need it is
not, IMO.
- Not everybody browse like you. I went wider (I'm on a 23" wide right now),
and I stopped browsing full screen when I jumped from 17" to 19" a few years
ago. So I don't need 3 columns.
- If you were really in deep need of it, you'd Google it and most probably
you'd have found it : http://sage.wikia.com/wiki/CSS:Wide_Screen . It is not
perfect, but it works here.

Cheers,

Guillaume
