So are they pushing the next wave of developers to resort to scraping instead of playing nice with the API?

I can't imagine that Twitter's service adds enough value to any 3rd party developer that scraping would make any sense. I think Twitter's doing irreversible damage to their developer community.

Wether or not that backfires on them is yet to be seen.
