The UI kept mostly out of the way. I could read it at any computer (and I read my feeds at at least 3 different machines). And the "killer feature" is/was that my feeds loaded instantly. I did not have to wait for every one of my 250+ feeds to open when I opened my "RSS reader".

I'm currently subscribed to NewsBlur and I have to wait for my feeds to load. It's not such a big deal as the UI is brilliant, but it's still annoying.

I'm trying out Feedly but I'm concerned about the behavior when Google Reader goes away since that's just a UI on top of what Google provides.

I'm still waiting in the import queue in The Old Reader.

It was less than half a second before a huge influx of users. Hopefully it will be down to what it was before when the scaling gets set up better.

I've currently setup a tinytinyrss install on my VPS. I'm actually liking it better than feedly. I haven't gotten a chance to checkout newsblur as much as I'd like, but i do like that it too can be setup by a user to run on it's own (I don't want to pay for an account just yet until i learn if i like it). The 64 feed limit is disappointing but i can completely understand it.
