Pros

Feedly has an easy to overview interface. While this interface is clean and simple, it is still full of bright colors.
A great feature that adds to the clean feel is "eliminate clutter", which keeps only the text of desired topic.
Pro Seamless Google Reader migration
Feedly have made it especially easy to navigate away from Google Reader.

Con Buggy
Logging in can sometimes cause Feedly to struggle. It can become unresponsive and force close.
Con No native desktop applications
Despite access via a web interface, Feedly is specific to mobile software platforms.
Con Long list of paid-only features
Free features are pretty basic. It seems like all the new development goes into paid-only features. Paid features include sharing and saving options, alerts, backup, support or integrations with collaborative tools.
Con Limit of 100 feeds in free mode
This limit is easy to exceed in a daily, casual news browsing routine. Because you don't read all the items, you're browsing and picking the interesting ones.
Con Organization/sorting features lacking
There is no ability to sort feeds within a folder, and moving feeds between folders is difficult with lots of content.
Con Steals page views
Feedly has had issues multiple times with hijacking page views from original publishers. See:
Con No push notifications
Among the most requested features for Feedly is push notification support. The feature was officially requested in 2011 and currently has over 600 votes on Feedly's Uservoice.
Con No in-app browser
If you wanted to stay in the Mac app and not go to your browser there is no way to do that.
Con No keyword filtering
Feedly has no ability to filter a feed by keyword like a lot of other RSS readers do.
Con The layout isn't like Google's original or Inoreader's of which is much easier to browse and read quickly
