Subscribe by email: Feedburner, Mailchimip, Wordpress, or something else?
-
Curious what the thoughts were on this? I'm using feedburer now to allow people on wordpress to subscribe by email.
Any thoughts?

This is how I see it:
Feedburner - Great for easiest most straightforward way to get your posts out to inbox with analytics. It does that very well.
Mailchimp - Gives you complete control over all the elements but it is a bit more to keep up with. If you have a goal in the future to use the list of subscribers for an email campaign and have the time to devote to setting everything up, then this is a great option.
JetPack - Since it is core to WP it is incredible simple to set up but it doen't let you generate a list of emails and has some big drawbacks to ultimate control. It is the easiest setup and I think has some incredible developments in store. Having everything in one place would be awesome but until it gives you a lot more control I would lean towards the other methods.
I think the answer really depends on your future goals and your current expectations.
