I stopped using it the day of the announcement. I took the shortcut out of my bookmarks, deleted the app from my phone, and exported my feeds one last time. It felt a bit like a breakup. I don't think I'd go back if they changed their mind. Some things aren't put back together that easily.
By the same token, I'm not switching to somebody else's closed replacement. From now on, my RSS reader will always be an open-source thing that runs on my own servers. It might be klunky at the start, but if it truly matters I'll invest in it.
