NewsGator updated their Outlook Edition. One of the many changes, is that now your email client view of your feeds sync's up with the web view. This is good, as you get your feeds with you simply in your email client (especially offline), yet if you are on another computer somewhere (say, at a conference), you can simply check-in to your normal world.

One of the problems is that now if you rename a folder in Outlook, NewsGator is sending data back to the service to tell it to change its metadata on that entry. This hangs outlook. The user is never told that a simple rename, which we are trained to think of as a simple local operation, is an expensive one.

Feedback in the UI is good.
