I love it - Twitter diehards (if there is such a thing) will intentionally use the egg in an effort to be, what, old school I guess …
But I think the overall move is a good one - anonymous driving trollies / hateful behavior by mass users is obviously an epidemic, and the move to the new icon will probably have a psychological effect. (Or one hopes, at least.) Plus the new icon looks more like Facebook, which is whole different level of unpleasant.
