I agree about 70%, mostly because of differences in our workflows. First of all, I don't use the nested folders, rather i just go thru the Latest News list.

I did use the Clippings feature, but in Google Reader, I use the Starred feature, which works well. This correlates to the Flagged feature in NetNewsWire, although it is not available on the iPhone app, which is a problem.

The desktop version of Google Reader is fairly good, and definitely better than the online NewsGator reader, which I did have to use on occasion. However, I really like the iPhone/mobile version of the site; it is much better and more functional than the current iPhone version of NetNewsWire.

If you did use clippings, and you lost yours in the upgrade, NewsGator saved them as HTML files in ~/Library/Application Support/NetNewsWire/ExportedClippings. you can then open them in your favorite browser. It isn't ideal, but it works for the one time of getting them back.

Two other negative things i have noticed: Syncing to me appears to be significantly slower, and I hate the new logo.

And Bart, knowing your aversion to ad supported products, you can't be happy about the ads.
