It's about freaking time.

I've been lamenting the unfortunate performance and design choices of "New Twitter" since 2010: http://www.quora.com/Twitter-com-2010-Redesign/What-things-dont-people-like-about-newTwitter

Simon Willison said it best:

I also really hate the URLs forced by the Ajax-for-everything.

It's taken Twitter Inc the better part of two years to undo this mess.

Hopefully they can finally move forward after what feels like two giants step backward.
