I've been using RSS readers in some form for more than 10 years now, and used Bloglines intensively from 2003-2007. I ditched it when NetNewsWire went free with syncing and I realized I had Macs at both home and work. I ditched NNW for Google Reader 2 years ago when I switched back to Linux most of the time, since the web version was terrible. I remember trying Google Reader periodically after it came out, and it was awful compared to Bloglines. It took them years to just duplicate the basic functionality. It's much better now on most fronts now after a couple more years of iteration, though their feed management stuff still sucks.
