I expect the same things from my RSS Reader. I also liked the Old Reader but had the same problems as you do. I also hated that there was no login option if you don't have a Google or a Facebook account, but there's one now. Having said that, I think the best one out there is feedbin right now. The thing is that most of the new RSS Readers, for whatever reason, do not support folders. I hate that. Having able to tag your feeds is cool, but that's no replacement to having folders. If feedbin had folder support, I'd pay twice as much than they currently want. The last service I had paid to use was feedwrangler. The UI is OK, but it still had no folder support. Instead, the system had something called "Smart Streams" (or something like that), which is basically like folders, except it's not. I don't understand why would anyone go into trouble of coding that filter rather than just adding folder support (or better yet, do both!). Both of the features basically serve the same purpose. I actually loved Commafeeds design once I saw it last night on reddit. Their design is simple, they have folder support, they have instapaper support. The only problem is, I know this is gonna sound weird, but it's free. I've learned not to trust the longevity of free online products the hard way. If I invest in using this product and they shut down a year later, that'd be a huge bummer (they also have no export option right now). So while I'm cautiously using Commafeed right now, I'm still patiently waiting for what digg has to offer.
