I love tweetbot for ios and it seems to be the same, minus touch-based actions for os x. Is there a new rule with stylized mac apps ignore the double tap to minimize the window action?

By "double tap" did you mean double clicking on the title bar? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I believe that feature is gone in Mountain Lion (the option is no longer there in General prefs).

I can't imagine why you'd be on anything else. Especially as a user of Hacker News.

If you're looking for an alternative OS X client, I suggest YoruFukurou. Lots of options, filters, multiple accounts, works on 10.6 and feels great.

Any reason you haven't updated?

Retina support is good. But why does it force the discrete graphic card? Official Twitter app does it as well for some reason.

This is absolutely worth getting for mac. I'm getting far fewer crashes than the official twitter client, a much nicer look, smoother interactions, and more information faster.

The killer feature for me is the ability to see the conversation around and replies to one tweet - this is extremely useful if you see one tweet between two people you follow but want to know the context around it, or if you want to see how other people have replied to a particular tweet.

+1 Dev pumps out updates with new features regularly too. Plus the icon is awesome.

because snow leopard did things better than lion (much lighter footprint, for one thing).

Oh, and I almost forgot, it supports real time streaming too...
