There are two main reasons why I store my data folders in my Dropbox. First, syncing my changes to Dropbox is super fast, even on a slow network. Second, changes are saved instantly, including draft tiddlers, which means I never lose work. It feels much more responsive and gives me a sense of security.
However, you still need to use the Dropbox App to sync the changes to Dropbox and TiddlyWiki or TiddlyServer to communicate with the browser. But TWITS for data folders allows me to skip the Dropbox sync and TiddlyWiki and just load it straight from Dropbox. It's more for people who tend to operate from multiple computers, but in the future, it will probably include a multi-user component to it, which my current NodeJS+Dropbox sync configuration basically cannot do. So that's some of my thoughts.
