I'm a long time Tweetdeck user. I cmd+tab to it hundreds of times each day.
TBH, Tweetdeck does everything I need so I'm not sure if there's anything in this 4.0 release that will get me switch.
@rrhoover I use Tweetdeck as well, and probably will continue to use it even after this update, but I imagine Tweetdeck is overkill to the average user. It is nice to see Twitter giving some love to their non-powerusers with some features Tweetdeck has had for a while.
@rrhoover Tweetdeck is great for power users - but similar to Gmail, for most use cases the web version of Twitter.com is "good enough." It seems like it would be hard to compel casual users to switchover.
@rrhoover do y'all use tweetdeck as a standalone app? So much easier for me that way... on the mac I use Fluid to create a standalone app for many things like tweetdeck

I personally use Tweetdeck, but wanted to give 4.0 a try. It's a little too buggy IMO - keep getting the same notifications over and over. Anyone else?
@jackdweck I moved over to Tweetdeck after being a Twitter app user for a while, and have been waiting for a new native app to come out ever since. Bugs and all, I'm doing my best to stick with 4.0- just hoping for an update. I'm honestly okay with losing some of Tweetdeck's functionality because Twitter (should) cover the bases for me.
I'm probably the only person who still used Twitter 3.0 as their main Twitter client on any platform. Was really excited to upgrade. Seems like this is a full rewrite (possibly ditching Flex for native?)
The good: muting, tweet quotes, gifs inline all work now.
The bad: It's insanely buggy. The old version was smooth and animated; the new version feels like nothing happens when you click something. The sidebar icons are awkwardly spaced out (and take up 2x as much room as before). But the worst is I keep getting notifications for things I turned off notifications for.
I really hope they don't do what they did last time: launch a new version, and then abandon it for a few years. I can live with the bugginess for now if it's actively being improved.
I still am just using Tweetdeck (in Browser) - Twitter Mac App AND Tweetdeck Mac App just never really worked as smoothly as the browser versions.
Always willing to try because I use Twitter SOOOOOOOOO much
@bentossell Same here! I use Tweetdeck in browser because its smoother in there. This one may be a great (long overdue) update. But, just not worth leaving Tweetdeck.
Definitely buggy, but that's (unfortunately) expected with an x.0.0 release. I do like that videos are now working, and that search has been greatly improved, but these bugs are a real downer.
I gave it a go and I've been very disappointed with the experience. A lot of bugs, performance issues and the UI looks very weird overall for a Mac app, IMO. Was expecting a lot more. With other alternatives, like Tweetbot, you just can't go back.
I've used tweetbot for a long time now, does everything I need it to. Multiple accounts, multiple panes, saved searches etc.
Just wish they'd update the favourite star to the like heart
I was a long time user of the Twitter Mac app, but somehow migrated to Tweetdeck. This looks nice, but I'm not sure if it'll entice me back. I just wish Twitter would do the sensible thing and merge the two apps and give the option of Simple vs Advanced layouts.
I'm still a big fan of Tweetbot, and there's nothing about this update that will make me switch. Design-wise, at least for me, there is still too much wasted space, and I can't squeeze it down small enough to stay on the right side of my monitor like I keep my current client constantly.
