There are another unique feature: if you subscribe to some RSS which is popular enough (and most of them are popular enough since there are literally millions of users) you can see not just what few articles server decided to send your way right now, but you can browser years back and look on the items which were posted long ago.

This feature is basically impossible to replicate in any non-cloud solution.

Exactly, also great feature about google reader is, it still shows also rss from blogs which are no longer available (for example from sun employees, when oracle bought them, they deleted them), but I still see these old technical posts in google reader for technical reference. I will miss GR very much..
