Brilliant point. I prefer RSS too. However, you try and explain to a surfer what RSS is and how he should get an RSS client and then add RSS feeds to it etc.
The General Public have no fucking idea what RSS is. Just like they don't know what HTTP is. When RSS is seamless, like on the iTunes music store, "people" will use it.
So, as the general public are comfortable with email, I suggest it is more effective to send emails with updates rather than hope to persaude people to get into RSS.
However, I agree with you, and *personally* I like to get news/infos from RSS.
