The cache. Opening up any feed and going back in years. And it works with broken sites too! Even if the content of the original site is gone, you can easily read it. Nothing can replace this feature... Does Newsblur or any other RSS reader have this?

Yes. This is the irreplaceable, unique value of Google Reader. Even if other services start archiving feed history now, only Google has the data from years ago. And I'm not terribly optimistic about them releasing all the historical information they have in one huge download, which would be the appropriate way to preserve it.
