Like the ability to quickly save a link to Read It Later or Instapaper, or that swipey menu.

That said, I’m kind of glad they did it, as I finally tried Tweetbot. It’s amazing. No agonizingly slow launch time, and every UI action is silky smooth. It’s like the old Twitter app, only it looks and works a lot better.

I’ve never really used hash tags in my life, but I’m starting to use this page as it’s a nice look at popular topics.

I also like the additions to the “Mentions” tab (Listing new followers and when people favorite or retweet your tweets). I guess over time you could consider all of that annoying, but for now, I’m still in the phase where I quite like it.

It’s also a lot better for viewing user’s profiles than I remember Tweetie (Or official Twitter or whatever it was called a few weeks ago! xD ) to be. It’s the simple things like the big, clear “Follow” buttons, or the “Tweet to X” button on their profile that I like.

The only thing I’ve really missed so far is the swipe feature on tweets for replying etc. That was far handier in the old version.
