I don't get the complaints here. Most of the complaints about the algorithmic timeline are implementation details, not objections to the concept itself.
An algorithmic timeline does not necessarily mean live events are out of order. There is no reason the algorithm cannot be sophisticated enough to detect time-sensitive tweets and preserve the ordering of real time events. In fact, a sophisticated enough algorithm would cluster real time event-related tweets in chronological batches, and surface relevant replies / commentary around it.
I'm pretty sure that almost all the people threatening to leave Twitter will still be there when the dust settles.
