> b) This isn't a priority, so we're not going to ship something half baked and outsource it. Here's a link to TweetDeck and TweetBot.

Since the API now effectively forbids third party apps, that doesn't seem like a viable option.

TweetDeck hasn't been third party since Twitter acquired it in 2011.

Oh, in that case I completely agree.

They should have just rebranded TweetDeck as the new official Twitter OS X client.

The old Twitter app for OS X wasn't theirs either, they just bought and re-branded Tweetie. So they could have re-branded TweetDeck even more easily.
