Not the Twitter youre used to: BETTER
YF doesnt look & feel much like any other Twitter client, and thats good. YF is uncompromisingly a MacOS X desktop application, not a mimic of the Twitter website or a smartphone app. As such, it has a highly flexible and functionality-focused UI that is not (at least by default) as cute as it might be, but which works well. If you *want* a flashier look, it has an amazing depth of configurability, easily found in the Preferences dialog where it belongs. YF also offers a rare wealth of functional features (such as versatile types of "muting" and user-defined tabs) that compare favorably to most commercial Twitter clients & outshines Twitters own clients (including TweetDeck.)
The only caveat for YF is that Twitter has made it quite clear that they dislike the idea of 3rd-party clients, and are particularly opposed to clients like YF that provide tools for users to shape the content of their tweetstreams and the ways tweets appear. YF would be an obvious first target if Twitter actually starts enforcing the UI rules they have published for client apps using their API, and the way their API works provides them the power to disable YF (or any client) unilaterally.
