I miss that option very much, but for you, that's one "problem" you won't have to deal with any more. Now, if you want to see who else someone you're following is talking you, you'll have to visit their Twitter profile page.
In other news, the old adage you get out of something what you put into it applies to Twitter. But in this case, HOW you follow Twitter is almost as important as who you follow.
By all means, use a Twitter client instead of accessing only the web interface at Twitter.com. That will turn your Twitter stream into something that looks more like Instant Messaging.
Finally, if you want an interesting Twitter stream, follow interesting people.

Re: @replies
Has it been awhile since you've used Twitter? The situation you complain about does not exist anymore.
Over a year ago, due to technical reasons, Twitter removed the ability to see those "half-conversations".
