I'm pretty happy they did, since it made me aware of feedly, which is much nicer!

Tried feedly and it did not stick for reasons I no longer recall :-)
https://theoldreader.com/ does the job perfectly
Former Bloglines dev here. I prefer https://www.inoreader.com/

Ultimately, I ended up with Digg Reader. Don't remember exactly how many platforms I tried, maybe a half dozen?.
Feedly was one contender, The Old Reader was another.
The primary reason I settled on Digg is that they came out with an iPhone app relatively quickly after they launched. Regrettably, their iPhone app has been broken for maybe 6 months now. Digg used an OAuth web-view embedded user agent. Google appears to no longer to support such requests from apps. Digg needs to update the app with Google's other authentication libraries.
Might have to find a new platform again. sigh...

Annnnnnd I've just opened an account with inoreader. Probably will make a jump over. Digg has annoyed me long enough. They can't find / pay a reliable IOS developer.
Said in a recent thread how much butthurt I still hold towards Google over the fate of Reader. Stupid shortsighted idiots at Google for deprecating Reader.
Maddening they gave it up for freaking horrible Google+.
