What did it do better than other RSS readers?
Yeah same thing I was wondering. There are still a lot of great RSS readers. Arguably even better than Google Reader was.
Those which are better today are heavily based on the Google Reader UI. There were no good alternatives back in the days.
The UI imo
For me it was that all my friends used it. So we share and comment posts a lot there. Now we do not have an alternative.
