Sorry Google; you can Keep it to yourself

Google Reader had an easy and clear migration path to export your data.

It's not just about the data: it's about the habits and familiarity surrounding the process of using the data.

In RSS, I've been using NetNewsWire for years, even though it's basically abandon-ware and has really fallen behind. Why do I keep using it? Because it works okay, and when I've tried to switch—most recently to DevonTHINK PRO—I've gone back to NetNewsWire.

I'd happily pay for a new version or for a better OS X desktop-only RSS app, but I'm a very small market.

I've been using Vienna[1] on OS X. It's open-source and has a nice interface.

Reader is a desktop RSS app and it has been pretty popular app for OSX and iOS.

You probably mean Reeder instead of Reader. It's my favorite RSS app. FWIW, the author has stated the app will continue working after Google Reader disappears. I don't know about the details.
