I do like personalisation, clustering, and reading by tag in Feeds2.o, and I like clustering, and items ordered by popularity in Feedeye. MyFeedz also has clustering, but you read feeds by machine tag or your own tags.

I downed all my feeds but there are a couple of things I like at Bloglines that Google didn't offer. I like my notifier and I like the playlists. But it is the one I used first so maybe I am just more comfortable with it. I have Bloglines right now and I tried Google.

I started using it to separate work and personal feeds and have since found it to be much easier to use. There will always be people who prefer different programs, but it seems that people always like best whatever they first used. I don't like the OVID Medline interface, but I had scientists who swore by it because that was what they learned in school. I’m on Reader’s side.

Gmail, Reader, and especially the Cart are all unusable for me when compared to Any other mail program, Bloglines, and Paypal. I keep trying, but either I'm missing something, or I just don't work the way Google designs their non-search products. Unnecessarily complex is my two word review for all those products.
