Marco.org: Why the Quick Bar ("dickbar") is still so offensive

marco:

Twitter’s official iPhone app, formerly Loren Brichter’s Tweetie and an otherwise awesome client, got a lot of negative reactions from the recent addition of the Quick Bar, a mandatory trending-topics banner on top of the tweet list. A lot of people really hate it, calling it the “dickbar” and often abandoning the Twitter app entirely because of it.

The Quickbar annoys me intensely. More than it should. I think it’s partly because Loren Brichter programmed a great app, and this is such a crass addition.

I’m looking for a new client - any recommendations?
