>They've always meant apps that offer more or less the same functionality as official Twitter clients.
That would mean that if I wrote a Twitter clone that consumed 100x less memory and was much more performant, it would still be a "banned" application even when there is clear benefit for the users.
>been clear that the user limit was really meant for Twitter-clones.
Even if that was true, its backstabbing developers who are popularizing Twitter in their own way.
>Besides the few remaining twitter clones always play catchup when Twitter puts out new features (recent example; polls).
And why is that a problem? What if an app developer thinks that new features are not worth them spending development time/money on?
It would be like Apple forcing ios developers to support force touch if they want to continue selling their apps.
