The article's citation of the Twitter app is one I'd call a fine example of a UI that could benefit from a side drawer. Twitter has completely overloaded two of their four bottom tabs: First, the Timelines tab has several horizontally-navigated views that are spatially disorienting when positioned against the tab layout and feel conceptually muddy under the "Timelines" category. Second, the "Me" tab is also home to tangentially-related functionality such as searching for users and help, and has its own often confusing navigation that might be better expressed in a consistently laid-out side drawer.
