It's still a sore spot. It was like a knife in the ribs. A really long knife. Serrated. And floppy. Spinning, too. Laced with Carolina Reaper sauce.
With the death of Google Reader, I completely stopped reading feeds. It killed a part of the internet for me.

I think they use it internally.
It's killing it slowly.
Because you can't kill something that's already dead.

> Many people, my wife included, use it regularly. That's all I needed to hear. Google+ is the most legit social networking site now.
If you haven't heard about this person's wife using Google+ it's a little bit of anecdotical evidence that it's doing its job of supporting communities rather than generically connecting people (like Facebook). The user interface remains outstandingly bad, but I've never seen clickbait links or scammers on Google+.
Also, the actual features are super valuable. You can create collections with varying levels of privacy for your posts. I use some private collections to take notes, and post more well thought out content in the public versions of those collections. The collections help me organize my thoughts, and I can see different ideas emerging over time. I have a collection to talk about software engineering practices, for example.
Also, being able to create private communities is nice. My wife and I have a private community where we share things about our daughter - photos, things we want to remember, things she's learning.
Overall, g+ has enriched my life.
Same reason everyone not Facebook hasn't yet given up and declared defeat? This isn't Highlander: there can be more than one. Google+ has plenty of active communities of people who choose not to use Facebook. Nothing wrong with that.
While I don't use G+ for anything, a good friend tells me that's where the role-playing game community is centered. He writes blog posts about an RPG he's developing, then links to them from his G+ account so that people with an interest will see them. So that's one active community, at least.

Feedly is better than Google Reader ever was these days. The team there is also super responsive to issues.
The support is however abysmal. I tried to raise two bugs for a year but nobody cared to reply. They are at par with JetBrains.
In contrast, I did not have any hopes with Chrome but it ended up being worked upon.
