Hey Guys,
I would like to open a discussion about removing Gwibber from the
default install. 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!!
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/520238
- No autocompletion of usernames makes it much more difficult to
communicate with Gwibber
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247015
Also some other stuff that is really annoying:
- No smooth scrolling
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/828593
- No multi-column view
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/825555
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
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.
