Felt like the first sign that Loren was no longer in charge of the design. Sad moment. I haven't upgrade to the newest version, but from other's comments, sounds like the UX has degraded further. And I'm also one of the folks who'd gladly throw a little money at Twitter periodically just for letting me keeping using the service, and keep using Tweetie as it was before it was assimilated. No ads. No crashes. Delightfully smooth and refreshing UX.
