I've not really used RSS and it's certainly never been a critical part of my Desktop/Laptop workflow. The first time it was exposed to me was through Firefox live bookmarks which I thought was pretty cool. Then I believe they removed the feature or just took out the bundled ones.
It wasn't until working on blogs that I became aware that RSS was much used. If we had some javascript get injected into the generated rss files (common with wordpress), users would complain the feeds would stop working. I'd get it fixed, but unless someone was asking for a live feed to be syndicated on another website, I just haven't used it personally.
I remember some news apps for phones like Pulse that seemed to run on RSS feeds for a bit. But that's about what I assume the majority of the population experiences of RSS. It runs some things like podcasts 'under the hood' but where does a new user get introduced to it?
I run entirely off emails, every email that comes in gets an action (usually delete, respond, or file). People in here talking about relying on RSS, what software do you even use it with? (don't give podcast apps please)
