What I love most about Google Reader is that it's web-based. What I hate about it is the user interface that looks dull and unfriendly (take the "List view" for instance that looks exactly like Gmail).
Google Reader is sometimes slow and returns server errors but I guess that only happens because there are many people using it.
It's really cool that you can switch to working (actually reading) offline with the click of a button but the download takes longer than I would have expected. On the other hand, synchronizing is pretty fast
Overall, Google Reader is a great service for bloggers and internet surfers, but some usability issues still need to be ironed out

 

Reader- Another Google Tool that I like

Leaving amid Google world I'm addicted to Google everything: Webmasters, Analytics, Docs, Reader, News and you name it

When it comes to feed items I only use Google Reader. Why? Because it so easy to use, so easy to put everything in the right place. I have tons of blogs and news channel subscriptions and I'm a news savvy person so you can imagine I use it all the time

One of features that I like the most is the Google Gears addition that lets you browse offline your content. Last 2000 posts you can read them while in connection drop down or while in plane above the world

I give Google Reader a ten, and from my side that's pretty generous but well it's my favorite web-based feed reader
