Heikki posted this on IRC a while back; I've been using it for a  
month or so, and I much prefer it to the web UI. There are a couple  
of things missing (the "?/+/-" UI for review of patch attachments)  
but it has an easier-to-use (IMHO) UI for queries.

It also has an interesting tree view for queries; in a way it's a  
hierarchy that's trying hard to provide faceted features via drag-and- 
drop. For example, if I have top-level queries called "Filed by  
Me" (matching all bugs I filed) and "Chandler" (matching all bugs in  
the Chandler product), I can create a drag-copy of "Filed by Me"  
underneath "Chandler" to get all the bugs in Chandler that I filed.  
(I could also do it the other way around). You can also create sub- 
queries that will enumerate all values of some attribute; for  
instance you could add a "By Priority" to some query, and that would  
have subqueries "P1", "P2", ... , "P5".
