Why would it matter if they shut it down? With Google Takeout[1] Google has proven to be be pretty good about making sure users can move their data out of Google's services.

So you use Keep it ends up being good[2], but then 1 year from now Google announces it'll be shut down. Oh no! I guess I just have to download all my data from Keep and upload it to Evernote.

I understand people (although seemingly more people than actually used the product) are upset about Reader, and justifiably so, but I think it's a little hyperbolic to evaluate every new Google product in that light.

[2]I haven't used and don't really plan to, so I have no idea whether or not it's good.
