I'm with you on drafts, that's useful - but there's user and tweet search at the top of the window, support for multiple Twitter accounts, support for groups of users, and I really think the DM interface on the side is something that's really really worth more discussion on.

Add to that the fact that not only does Brizzly display images and video in-line with the rest of your tweets but it also expands shortened URLs so you can see what you're clicking before you do, and has its own URL shortening and image hosting service so all you have to do is paste or upload your image to include it in your tweet.

I agree that the UI isn't anything horribly special, but I think the desire was to keep it simple, elegant, and above all functional - there's a reason people are scrambling to get their hands on invites, and while it probably won't sway me from my desktop Twitter app, it's got features that could sway a lot of people.

Give the app a little more time and another try, and I think you'll find more to like. I did a hands-on myself with it and did a pretty lengthy writeup with screenshots:

Might help you out a bit? :)
