I also started to make a list with things that need IMHO some changes,
so i'll post it here:

    * When Feedreader is open (so not minimzed in thesystemtray) it
      does not have a button on the taskbar. Imho having a button on
      the taskbar when the app is not minimized would be very usefull.
      (added this already as an RFE
     
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1033045&group_id=70179&atid=526866)
    * When there is an error with a feed (parse error, hierarchy
      error,..) it would be nicer if that feed in the tree would be
      coloured red or marked somehow instead of the (annoying) error
      message. (Sharpreader has a nice manner of marking feeds with
      errors)
    * Feedreader doesn't save the state of folders
    * Like carl set, updated items should be marked in a different way
      (sharpreader by example shows them in italic instead of bold)
    * In comparison to sharpreader updating my feeds (about 60-70 i
      think) takes a lot longer. Sharpreader seems to do this
      multithreaded, while feedreader seems to do it one-be-one, could
      this be changed?
    * also nice would be to show a different icon in the systemtray
      when there are unread items

Kind regards and Thanks for the nice app!!
