As long as the people on my old feed will still be getting my existing feed (even if it's not feedburner) than that's all I wanted to make sure of.

Thanks to both of you for the responses.

Creating a Feedburner alternative is just an alternative. It does not result in any disruption at all to those who have already subscrobed to the wordpress.com blog subscriptions. The readers simply have another choice. ;)

Everyone that has already subscribed via the original feed will still continue to get that feed.

If I go to a site and decided to subscribe to a feed, and the site is using a feed service I don't like, I poke around with URL's till I find the original feed URL and then I subscribe to that. I like the clean simple original feeds the best.

Answer: No. They will have to click the link and subscribe via Feedburner.

So right now I just offer a regular RSS feed to my blog through WP. If I switch to Feedburner, do I lose the subscribers that I already have? Do they automatically get redirected?? I hear good things about feedburner but I wouldn't want to compromise the people that have been following my blog up to now.

I likewise use Feedburner on both my wordpress.com and wordpress.org blogs. The presentation is good as shimworld says. Like TSP said I prefer Feedburner because if I ever move my blogs I simply change the feed URL at Feedburner and those who have subscribed to email feeburner subscriptions are not even aware of the change. Please see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-subscriptions/

I am subscribed to my own 'feed' as well as friend's blog posts so I know if they turn out OK. I include a "Subscribe to Feedburner" link on the sidebar http://shimworld.wordpress.com/ for folks who appreciate being notified by email. Not many people like or use a RSS reader and a number of friends insisted that I email them new updates .. I got tired of doing that so I had them subscribe to Feedburner instead.

And I'm given like three options for the feed source. I'm confused now. There's a feed page, an RSS feed page, and the Comments feed page. I'm sure I don't want it on the comments, but what's the diff btw the RSS feed and the feed?

If you use the service here, and then move, all your subscribers have to subscribe to the new blog all over again.
