Owen Taylor from Red Hat demonstrated the wobbly windows effect with a fork of Metacity several years earlier and Sun had Project Looking Glass probably even before that. Metacity was released with stable compositing support atleast a year before Compiz. Novell developer Compiz in-house and made a splash launching SLED but it seems to have lost maintenance soon after as a business decision and the history of maintenance after that point seems very spotty with multiple forks and merges.

Even though I don't use it anymore, it still feels like it would be the end of an era if Compiz was to die.
In my mind, Compiz will always be the original "Composited Desktop". They guys who opened our eyes to the possibilities...

Hello,
Just want to clarify what is going on in Gentoo regarding Compiz, it has been masked for removal by the treecleaners as it no longer has a maintainer.
You can keep it in the tree if you can find someone to maintian the packages....
From the old maintainer: "I no longer have the time nor will to work on the desktop-effects packages. In reality they've been unmaintained for quite sometime now. Unless someone steps up, there won't be any alternative to finally remove compiz from the tree."
Please contact me if you are interested in saving compiz. thev00d00 AT gentoo DOT org

Leave some windows on the screen and then drag one with vsync on, you'll see how compiz is smoother,expecially with blur active.Even mutter wins (no blur).
