I'm disappointed 1.7.3 is being held up for a feature 95% of the community will never use, considering 1.7.2 is buggy as forget, no mods are being updated in anticipation of 1.7.3, etc. I mean seriously, 1.7.3 is NEEDED for all the broken stuff, at least in that mods are in limbo until 1.7.3 is out. They said it will be a 1.7.3 snapshot this week, not even a pre-release or something... 1.7 is going to be a flop version in terms of functionality and community-friendliness... I mean... Whatever.
Just to clarify because I don't think I wrote this right:
Minecraft 1.7.2 is extremely buggy. Not only is it problematic as vanilla, mod makers are holding back on actual updating as Minecraft 1.7.3 was promised and they'd rather not make them based on a broken build. But instead of making sure they get a fix update out, they are extending the time to Minecraft 1.7.3 by working to add the one-click Twitch integration in it. I mean seriously, why? You have serious, noticeable issues with Minecraft 1.7.2. Leave this feature for 1.8. Most users won't use it, most users who do use it won't use it right, and it's just delaying a much, MUCH needed fix.
I know saying that means nothing to them, but just airing my disappointment. Glaring bugs, they even marked them as fixed on the bug tracker for their personal builds, but they hold back releasing them even as snapshots until this Twitch feature. That's painful.
