Why New Google Reader Sucks

So many people complained about this problem, yet Google still failed to responde. If anyone from Google is reading this, please beware that Google and Apple are two totally different companies, and Google won't be great by forcing people accept that Apple-branded "the options we made are best for you you just don't know what you want" idea. Just some facts:

1. Google Reader was once a somehow unique service with a lot of core fans.
2. G+ is totally different with Reader, and it can't beat facebook by simply remove Reader's "Note in Reader" feature.
3. If Reader is staying like this, some people will choose a mobile RSS client to replace Reader eventually (like me).
4. Integrate G+ and the old Reader WITHOUT removing the "note in reader" feature may not hurt.
5. From G+ real name to GAE price raise to Reader function removal, Google is doing evil now.
