in The Perfect Twitter Client: What Apps Are You Tweeting With? on Mr Tweet Blog
Amazing that this thread has gone on so long without someone extolling the "clean interface" of a command-line Twitter client. Before this occurred to me I didn't even know they existed, but sure enough, it appears there's a bunch of them...

You're right Jeff. I didn't even consider this. Appreciate the tip. Care to name drop any command-line clients that caught your eye?

I don't know if it's the best Twitter client -- others may have stronger Twitter-specific features that I don't need -- but EventBox is my client of choice. It aggregates multiple "streams" (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc.) into a single interface. This stuff is distracting enough without having to manage multiple applications...
I used to use Twitterific, and I'm still happy with it on my iPod Touch, but on the desktop EventBox is great.

I do like EventBox for the aggregation features but it's individual stream management features aren't as good as others so I keep going back to my faves for each. Would love to see a better feedreader. Could probably kick my Nambu habit in that case.

I'd imagine the button is there so that there's a confirmation / recognition step in case something went wrong with the upgrade process, but you're right - if everything worked, why bug me to tell me about it?
Maybe we see so many messages and pop-ups to tell us things worked because (1) too often they don't, and (2) developers are sometimes under the impression that if something's important to the code, it's important to the user.
