Gwibber has several defects that make it way worse to use than the Twitter-Website. - No support for Twitters Streaming API makes it a lot slower than the Website NOTE: This feature is nearly 2 years old!! <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/520238">https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/520238</a> - No autocompletion of usernames makes it much more difficult to communicate with Gwibber <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247015">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247015</a> Also some other stuff that is really annoying: - No smooth scrolling <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/828593">https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/828593</a> - No multi-column view <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/825555">https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/825555</a> Is there anybody actually using Gwibber on a daily basic? I have it uninstalled on all my machines and use Twitter through the Web-Interface. I would love to use a native desktop-application but Gwibber is just missing soo many features. What do you think? greetings Kai Mast </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> I personally share your frustration with Gwibber and I personally do not use it because I do not feel that it is a mature and stable Twitter Client although I do know that Ken VanDine has been putting a lot of work into the project since I sometimes peak into his changes to see how the client is progressing. I had hope by 12.04 Gwibber might be a bit more up to par in design and features but maybe next LTS right? I do not think however that removing Gwibber is a good idea because however much we may dislike the current state of that client it is still widely used and I know people who surprisingly use it. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Benjamin Kerensa "I am what I am because Team Lead, Ubuntu Oregon of who we all are." - Ubuntu <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:bkerensa@ubuntu.com">bkerensa@ubuntu.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntu-oregon.org">http://ubuntu-oregon.org</a> </pre> </body> </html>
