What is the best/most user friendly news reader to use? Does anyone pay for these or is it freeware?

For binaries? Go with Grabit.

Does not use bloated .NET and is fast and light and importantly FREE.

Depends what you want it for. If not for binaries but general then XanaNews is great.

Another vote for google reader.

EDIT - just had a look at Yahoo Pipes - http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/ - seems pretty cool.
