I could get used to the new look, although all that white space is irritating and takes up viewing space (why?).  But I don't use and most of the people I interact with on Reader don't either.  We like to share stuff we find and talk back and forth and now all that interaction is just gone.  I don't want to have to wade through everyone's stuff on G+ to get to the sharing features we had so easily on Reader.  I'm very disappointed.  What I see is that I'm going to have to find yet another product to use and hope that all my friends I used to have in one place on GReader will also get this new product.  So sad.  If Facebook disappeared today, I wouldn't give a crap.  If Google+ went away, I wouldn't notice, but give me back my Reader, jeez.
