The Atom/RSS Fracas

Can anybody tell me why this is a big deal? This CNET piece makes it seem like there’s a real war between RSS and Atom, but it reads to me like competition, which is good as far as I can tell. I mean in the long run, won’t my aggregators and blogging tools just support both? As a non-technical guy, can someone give me the shorthand on why this matters that much? I’m not being flip (it may sound that way), I just don’t get it.
