What's wrong with Thunderbird? Surely you don't use Outlook by choice?

UI is too bloated, slow, resource hungry and I've had problems with displaying some feed content in the past.

Outlook

God forbid.

That's surprising. I found it be underpowered as an RSS reader, personally. Although I am really only using it for news - I know some people who use it for videos, etc.

That's one of my problems with Thunderbid, anything that isn't a HTML page just has loads of problems with it. In fact, most of the readers recommended above by other people suffer from the same problems, it kind of sucks.

What's one that doesn't suck?

Good question.

I'm yet to find something that supports notifications, handles podcasts/videos and isn't janky as all hell or hasn't been abandoned for a decade by now.
