Same here. I'm ok with NewsBlur because it does what I needed from google reader: lists of feeds, lists of posts, and keyboard shortcuts to navigate between both. I actually paid for NewsBlur over Feedly just for the keyboard feed navigation. What I miss from the keyboard shortcuts is the n/p and shift-n/p where you navigate without opening an item. I'm currently ambivalent about the commenting/social part, but I can see it work and take off. As long as the interface does what I want, I can ignore the fact that it's rather ugly, a bit odd here and there, and doesn't properly show the 'active' item. But I really think there should be a 'minimal' theme that emulates google reader's. And, of course, it's currently a bit show. But I can forgive the guy for that :).
