Almost every program that I use makes use of XML/RDF: RSSOwl, KNode,
AmaroK... it's nice to stroll between different program and be able to take
data and settings along with you. It's a freedom that's appreicated by those
not stubborn enough to justify persistence with just one package/vendor.

Best wishes,
Roy
