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?


Before big decisions like dropping or replacing an app, it is
always good to contact the developers to know exactly how
those issues are being handled.

Yes, the bug report is a kind of contact already, but people
on this list might have some extra resources like knowing
where the devs lurk in IRC, etc. Plus, it is not a uncommon
that a lot of development is happening silently.
