I like the clean, 3-panel layout.
Also, it is quite fast when the Display Style is set to "text".

However, it is missing two features:

1. Links to send posts to social media (in addition to the email link).

2. Search function.


UPDATE: I jury-rigged a social media link in Linux as follows:

1) Create a bash script as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# remove the 'mailto' section of the link, leaving only the post's URL:
URL=$( echo $1 | cut -d"=" -f3 )
# send the post's URL to the appropriate address:
firefox --new-tab https://plus.google.com/share?url=${URL}

2) Make this bash script executable.

3) Click the mail icon, then click "Choose an Application", navigate to your bash script, and choose it.
