You can still quote tweets, however, Twitter has simply changed the words that make it happen.

This is why it came as a surprise to many.

Like any other Twitter update, the "Retweet with Comment" feature will take a lot of getting used to. But if we can finally settle with more characters per tweet, this new one also will settle right in.
