One thing that has struck me is the lacking of some functionality that would make Gather a bit better.
1: A "Last" link. When browsing friends, articles and such, there is a "First", "Previous", "Next" links, but not a "Last" link. Also there doesn't appear to be a way to jump to a specific page. You have to keep clicking on "Next"
2: A reference to a comment to a comment. Sure, you can comment back to a person, but there is no way that person really knows that you have commented on your comment unless they look at your article again. This I see is a serious fault of Gather. There is no real way to start a conversation.
These are the things I can think off on the top of my head. Feel free to add your own little dislikes. ^_^
Edit:
3: Oh yes... Global/friend group settings. You have to set individual settings to every individual friend. I wish there was a setting you can set to a group of friends. For instance, I want to see all posts done by friend A, and friend B, but not friend C. I would put Friend A & Friend B in a group and set the group to notify me about a posting they did.
Edit AGAIN:
4: Ah, forgot... Group settings. I would like to know when something is posted in a given group. For instance, if someone posts something in the Doctor Who group, I have to go to that group manually to find out if anyone posted in there. Very tedious.

oh! i delete my articles on occasion and the "delete" isn't working right! grr!
Good list
Numbers 1&2 have been asked for numerous times, but I think Gather would rather you page ad nauseum to increase "Page Views" in a sneaky sort of way.
On number 2 I have developed a habit of going through "my comments" first from the day before when I login, and if time, do so before I log off. That way if I have asked a question or whatever, I can tell if they answered or not. I'm not sure if there is an easier way or not.
Take care.
