I'm very happy to hear this,  Compiz is old and most of its code are cool
things to show how cool can the GNU/Linux desktop (e.g., desktop 3D cubes,
fire animation on drop down menus, etc.) - which, in my opinion is useless
-.

It is time to start making beautiful yet useful WM; Gala and Mutter are
excellent exemples.
