Missing option: Yes, but would use something better.
Given the subjectivity of "better", who wouldn't?
Exactly. But I mean, some folks might be 99% happy with it, I'm 60%.

#162I used to use Google Reader, but I found that I missed seeing the original site and that I couldn't easily filter out stories I didn't want to read. So I built NewsBlur -- http://www.newsblur.com . It's open-source and I'd love if more folks followed my development: http://github.com/samuelclay . It's been a weekend project but it's been a wild ride so far. One of my main goals is to have much of the functionality of…
That's funny because I was planning to set up on documentcloud this week. This is beyond awesome, and if you do not become insanely rich from it then there is no justice. I had grown to dread the Reader page, and you've made it enjoyable again.

If nothing else, Google's recent rework of the way they do apps accounts makes this an instant win for me. It's no longer been possible for me to have my reader open (logged into personal account) and my work email open in the same browser. I'm a new customer for that alone.. and it looks like there are plenty of other things to be excited about here. Thanks!
Unless the administrator of your work gmail has disallowed it, you should be able to stay logged in to both work email and google reader.

#164I love Reader. It amazes me that Google keeps creating these new "social" features, where they have a great social thing going already. I share stuff and discuss things with my colleagues on Reader. Somehow, they launched Google+ without any integration!
This. If Google went poof tomorrow, the lack of Reader would be the one thing that would leave me bereft. On the iPhone, I use mobileRSS as the UI, but I use the web app directly on the desktop.
I assume the OP question was to establish whether one would use something else, and Plus integration would definitely affect my answer. If there was a tight integration (like, share to a particular circle) I would be less tempted to jump ship, but I have to say I am more wedded to Reader that any other Google product simply because by searching the "Shared" section I can find almost every single thing I have found interesting on the web [I share to one person only, either directly from the RSS feed or to Reader using Shareaholic].

#165I use it to have synced my Reeder app, both on my iPod and on my Mac, great app, hardly recommend to anyone.

Some people at work have had luck with using Chrome private browsing for their home account. Since the cookies are not shared with the 'main' session, you shouldn't run into any conflicts.

#168I used to go through cycles reading RSS feeds and declaring RSS bankruptcy, but I've given up. I need a priority queue RSS reader. Show me the N most "important" posts across all my feeds since I last visited. Importance would be calculated a number of ways: * Prioritize posts from low volume feeds. I probably want to see every post from a friend who blogs once a month, but not every post from Engadget. * Most favori…
isn't that HN?
and please don't downvote, I'm being serious.

When I first saw this was open source, I downloaded it immediately. Was pretty sure you were gonna take it to become a billionaire, so I wanted to have it as a reference for my own projects. Glad to see I can still get the updates. :)
