I wouldn't consider myself a design snob by any means, but I will not be using Google Reader because it's just unpleasant to look at and navigate. If I had the choice between visiting blogs manually and reading their feeds via Google Reader, I would visit them manually. Now if you throw iPad Reeder into the mix, I would definitely choose iPad Reeder - it seems pleasant, and that's what I want when I'm reading/browsing.

And I don't think it's as much as a dream as it is a preference. Have you seen the iPad RSS readers? I don't think I'm asking too much, this isn't rocket science.
