Every time this kind of thing happens I just remember how much bigger Twitter got with the help of third-party clients, and then implemented terrible login token limits to prevent any from becoming as good as their own offerings once traction picked up.

Yup! As a Twitter user since 2007 I've watched as 3rd party clients were superior by far (TweetDeck was still my favorite), and have now been left in the dust as Twitter leaves them for dead by cutting off API features to them. Twitter itself has never made a client as good as TweetDeck or TweetBot, and invariably never will.

tweetdeck.twitter.com exists and I use it regularly, what am I missing?

Twitter bought Tweetdeck for $40 Million in 2011.

Exactly right - I meant the "real" TweetDeck of 2008-2010 lol :) Multiple columns of custom user groups, so straightforward. Oh yeah, no ads!
