It is probably true nobody who currently codes against Twitter APIs wants new APIs. I've rewritten them before and won't be doing it again. Maybe someone new will come along to replace us. Twitter doesn't care unless it makes them more views.
Doesn't matter anyway because they already got rid of the useful APIs, which broke everything anyone I knew had written. Handwriting has been on the wall.
Sort of like boycotting Facebook, it's only takes the step of stopping to set you free.
As a user I would like for Twitterrific for example to support polls and pinned tweets. So at least one user of a third partly client wants this, I bet that there are more.

Nobody wants a new API. The new features don’t make up for all the work needed to rewrite every call. Again. Nobody wants this.

Agree. This seems like a poor attempt to marketing themselves "better".
