DISQUS

I think it is all a matter of taste around aesthetics and layout as you say. I prefer the look of the beta, so it's been easy for me to make the switch! I never used custom FriendFeed tabs either, so I don't miss anything there.

Dunc, they missed the boat a long time ago when they didn't add apps that real people (read non geeks/early adopters) use. Check out their growth in Alexa, stagnant over last 3 months. Facebook has eaten their lunch and they are not going to make any money.

You can have your "tabs" back with the Better FriendFeed Beta GM script

I'm going to go with "they took hints from the aesthetically pleasing OneSwirl after it shut down".

Which, by the way, was very sexy and usable. Too bad no-one cared because we weren't funded or anything.

I agree with many of your points here. The user grouping and friend lists are a welcome addition of course. And I really like the filtering by service options being located directly at the top of individual feeds.

But I too work mostly on a wide screen and don't like that I have to travel so far to the right just to get my feed. A quick link in the top left to my own feed would solve that for me. Also, I think you're right, I might also prefer for the sidebar to extend only the length of the links to provide an even cleaner look.
