Make a shell script that's a) simple and b) parses an Atom feed correctly and then we'll talk about how easy parsing an Atom feed with the bare minimum of tools is. Meanwhile, we don't need to talk about how easy parsing the plain gemtext feed is, because it's *that* easy. Of course it's easy to parse gemtext; the entire point of gemtext is to be easy to parse.
