I've tried Raven but it's archived and not maintained anymore, Fluent Reader and Feeds both of which doesn't feel smooth at all. Any recommendations? Preferably desktop and not a self-hosted service.

My personal favourite is fluent reader

Not very good for organizing more than a few feeds

How so? I have many feeds oeganized under different groups, and that works well for me. What functionality would you have wanted?

It works pretty well for me, the home page has them all. The side bar lists each source individually. You can save articles for later. Im not sure if it has groups to organise feeds as iv not checked that. Mostly i just enjoy the look and feel as it has a good design and the app image is fast (flatpak is slow)

I want to be able to drag around folders into other folders and select multiple feeds at once. Fluent has one of the best ways of displaying a completed feed. I still use CommaFeed to organize my feeds and edit the OPML document from it in a text editor because the organization of the nested folders is still crap.

I want to, for instance, select one folder to export it as an OPML file
