You clearly have no idea what you are talking about as you compare a component that only ever was a display server with something that does compositing and serves as the display server at once.

If, like Compiz, this can be layered onto other desktop environments, I don't see the problem with this. Compiz brought a lot of attention to the Linux desktop, for better or worse. I have a feeling Wayfire is going to be less broken and more performant.
Besides, features like being able to rotate windows has practical benefits. For example, if you were to run this on a tablet, instead of the entire display rotating whenever you flip it, you could have it so only the windows themselves rotate, while otherwise remaining in the same X/Y coordinate. I don't know if this is necessarily better but it's cool you could get the option. Or for a more practical benefit, you could have a table touchscreen, where people can use 2 fingers to orient a window to face whatever direction suits them best.
I also remember liking the desktop cube, because that was a good way to observe multiple programs from different workspaces, without having to switch between them. Expose is good but sometimes that zooms out too far.

So you've set up wayfire and sway and their associated apps? Do tell. Because I have, and they're interchangeable.
