Accusing Naan Studio of being clueless and greedy (while we have Microsoft, Adobe, Intuit and others) is unfair and uncalled for.
Indie developers need to pay the bills just like you do, and a business model that offers only free products is not sustainable.
I have no connection to the developer, just getting tired of this "only if it's free" attitude people have.

It has near complete keyboard shortcuts, enough to get by 90% of the time without ever moving your cursor but sadly lacking in the search tab.
there are a lot of unusual features for a Mac twitter client
it supports tweet conversation views, in app displaying of full twitter profiles, tweets, followers, following, lists and listing and starred favourites. that's in all profiles, in your own profile it also has a tab for retweets giving you further tabs for retweets made by your followers, made by you AND your own tweets retweeted by others (sadly it doesn't tell you who did it). more unique features include ssl for all requests (secure) and real time streaming so no more refreshing or waiting around for tweets to arrive. It also tells you in the timeline when you have new followers and when your tweets have been fav'd
I can't really comment on list support as it's not something I personally use but it does support bit.ly url shortening and it's accounts, plixi and twitpic for image uploading but a wide range of services for image and video are also supported for popup viewing. There are enough options (growl, dock, menubar and kb shortcut to show etc) to suit most if not all users workflows without being in the way.
The big feature/gripe is the unread tweet sync, it only works with the iPhone counterpart (which doesn't do it for me) but is probably the reason for the price. I would love to see a tiered pricing scheme, one price to remove the ads and another amount that enables the sync, opening up the app to all potential customers, matching the competition but with the current price of $20 I have to pay for a feature that I'll never use, just to remove ads.
took a bit of searching but nothing comes close to this, I'm thankful that I could use it all I like before paying such an amount.

It just places a small twitter post into your timeline every so often.

I'd have to say the developers are expressly greedy and this client serves to take advantage of the stupid, ignorant, or filthy rich... or all of the above.
Just ridiculous that people would pay this much for something so average. The client bleeds your information to Naan Studios and other 3rd party marketing agencies, there are a lot of graphical glitches (look at the screen shot, you can see the line on the scrollbar bezel (the client is riddled with those)...
All in all, I honestly don't see how they can sit there with a straight face and charge so much...

I looked at over 20 twitter clients and none suited me to well, but Echofon was different. The second I opened it I knew that it was going to stay for a long time.The fact that it supports bit.ly URL shortening and can open images/movies directly without the need to open a webbrowser is a nice feature for me.
PS: The macupdate screenshot is from a old version, the new interface looks a bit different.
