Compiz works very good with latter and acceptable with former. Most issues with XFCE are due to different approaches to workspaces, here I assign keycombos /mouse window region triggers for expo, moving between etc. Its minor issue.
Overall, I can switch-tile all windows, overview them to cherry pick, place them in corners (via key combos). IE stuff that makes working with windows a bit more productive. Its not ratpoison or awesome efficiency, but it does provide management options that are absent in XFWM.
If I'd to work under KDE, I don't think I would need Compiz, because KWin provides basic functionality already.
So don't know, haven't got a chance to replace it, yet... I suppose it does.

The headline is simply wrong. The current of KWin (4.8) has tiling support, the upcoming version 4.9 will have tiling support, and the version after that (4.10) will have tiling support but implemented via another mechanism (JavaScript instead of C++).

Not only does that mean that current kwin is without feature X, from watching patterns in software development, this pattern means that feature X will never be restored.
