Problem is with the fact that many times the system is down. stats are completely inaccurate, or buggy or otherwise rendered useless. For example - right now, my original feed links work fine, but are completely broken through feedburner. When a reader clicks on the article title in the "burned" feed, feedburner takes them to "feeds.feedburner.com/articlename" instead of "mysite.com/articlename" talk about hijacking a feed... Since Google bought them out, updates and fixes are pretty much at zero... a lot of blog owners are complaining. If they cleaned up the mess that is running of late, I would also give them a thumbs up - otherwise, I recommend monitoring your feed on a regular basis - not through the feedburner "feedmedic" which brings up no flags even for broken feeds. Just my 2 cents - so be aware of the issues. Yes, feedburner has a lot of great features.
