To me inoreader.com is the perfect Google reader like feed reader. I don't get all the fuzz about feedly, there are better alternatives. just my $0.02

Agreed. I switched to Inoreader after several weeks of looking for an alternative to Google Reader and I haven't looked back since. I've had a great experience; their Android app is very good and they seem to have a reasonable business model.
The UIs on Feedly and Newsblur didn't suit me at all. As I recall Feedly made it very difficult to even read the articles. Inoreader has the nice two-column view Google Reader and mail apps like Fastmail use.
Tried first The Old Reader but at some point of time switched to Inoreader for a reason I can't remember anymore but Inoreader has been really awesome all the way <3
I went the same route, but The Old Reader at one day announced shutting down for all users that came after Google Reader's end.
They reverted this a few days later but by then I was on an alternative already (could have been tt-rss then)

When Google Reader died Feedly was the easiest alternative to switch to.
For a few years I continued to use third party clients for reading, as most of them transparently supported Feedly the same way as Google Reader.
Lately I've just started using Feedly directly, and I don't have too much of an issue with it.
I should note, I rarely use the web interface. Since around 2009 I've used mobile apps for my news feeds.
