To me inoreader.com is the perfect Google reader like feed reader. I don't get all the fuzz about feedly, there are better alternatives. just my $0.02
The UIs on Feedly and Newsblur didn't suit me at all. As I recall Feedly made it very difficult to even read the articles. Inoreader has the nice two-column view Google Reader and mail apps like Fastmail use.
They reverted this a few days later but by then I was on an alternative already (could have been tt-rss then)
For a few years I continued to use third party clients for reading, as most of them transparently supported Feedly the same way as Google Reader.
Lately I've just started using Feedly directly, and I don't have too much of an issue with it.
I should note, I rarely use the web interface. Since around 2009 I've used mobile apps for my news feeds.
