I've just been trying to use feedly, but it's leaving a lot to be desired.

I don't want to have to search in order to add a site. I have the URL in my clipboard, I want to just add it to a particular group. The organise function (which on my vertical screen requires hover and if I click instead it closes it) seems to be designed around assuming that you don't have many groups or feeds in your groups. For example, I was trying to add a particular feed url to a particular group. It wouldn't let me because it was already in another group, but I couldn't see which group it was in (and why shouldn't I have a feed in more than one group?).

Also, what's with the huge featured thing? I don't care about what's 'featured', what I want is a timeline of full articles from my groups, without extra nonsense up at the top and without having to move between sites. I don't care about the feed it's from, what I care about is new content. I moved to reader from bloglines precisely because reader would let me have that and bloglines wouldn't, if feedly won't either then I simply can't use it.
