I’ve always wanted to try slrn so I installed it last week. I made configuration and started using it.

I’m very tolerant and even use Vim but slrn is a very weird program. It asks too much questions, there are too many confirmations - just like in Windows. Maybe it’s possible to turn them off but it should be default. Its default color scheme is terrible - I hate black backgrounds. The most disappointing thing is that this app cannot handle UTF-8.

I treat this application as a good piece of software but nothing else. There are many better news readers.
