Hi Ray, I'm the one who designed it. If you'd like to give me a more detailed report of what you liked about the original design that's not facilitated by the new design, I'd be happy to read it. You can send it to hi at fury com. --Kevin Fox
This is such an improvement over the last version. There seems to be some refresh issues though. News items are showing up in my regular RSS aggregator but not in Google Reader.
Absolutely adore it. This finally feels like a mature RSS reader, and they added a ton of keyboard shortcuts to navigate everything, including the new stuff and the feeds/groups list on the left (check the FAQs for the new shortcuts).This finally made me quit NetNewsWire in the dock to give gReader a serious try.
I think the new version is awesome. I save a lot of time because of the way this version displays all of the items in the right pane instead of one item at a time. That, coupled with the fact that Google Reader (or maybe Digg) is where I spend most of my time when I am surfing the net, makes me a very happy Reader.
*sigh*Once again, Google screws over Opera users for the initial release. Come on Google, it's not that hard to do better cross-browser compatibility checks.
Yes, I use the labels filter in each module. The benefit of loading all those modules is that you can scan many feeds at once by just scrolling the page.

Great improvement. I love the "mark as read as you scroll" feature, it's something I would have never even dreamed of, haha.

@cam2009Thanks. Already done.Maybe they could add user-constructed modules or extensions for Reader just like there are for the Personalized Homepage. A more user-driven model or approach would do Google no shortage of good.<a class="user" href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Reader">http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Reader</a>
