I also like using Firefox's gimpy feed reader for sites that I merely check when I feel like (not every day), or I just want to read headlines.

Using the folder pane in the top of the sidebar and partial view/summary pane in the bottom of the sidebar, while browsing the original websites in the main pane actually seems like a more intuitive setup for a feed reader - especially one that's a browser extension. You often end up going to the original articles anyway, right? Especially with all those partial feeds. Before I switched to Google Reader, I actually moved from Sage to Wizz.
