I use Google Reader for one very simple reason - I'm already signed into Google. It's on my phone, it's on all my computers . I don't want to have to use yet another bloody website just to manage something as simple as an RSS feed. I like Reader because it as simple, it worked and it was everywhere I needed it. The fact that it's retiring just because people are not using it is a misconception - I've managed to get a fairly large number of people using Google Reader, none of which had ANY idea it existed before. As a few others have said in the thread, the "declined usage" is no fault of the product itself but through absolutely no promotion of it from Google.
