At least, users can customize Gnome Shell as they wish.

They've been dropping basic features left and right for everyone because they "don't work well with touch" and fucked up the workflow into a true Fisher-Price abortion of a DE. Unity is clunky, heavyweight, uncustomizable, and (as of this post) invades your privacy, but you don't need to delve into the registry to enable minimize and maximize buttons or install 5 extensions to restore sane functionality.
On topic. Canonical seems to have an agenda on where it wants Ubuntu to go and certain apps/infrustructure that pushes. They made their choice. I am over ubuntu and i don't think i will ever get back to it.

It seems that they are only going to be dropping the metacity binary. Compiz still links against the libmetacity-private0 library

Mark Shuttleworth is not a newbie in this industry, I'm sure he must have a very interesting agenda...
And yes, Miguel De Icaza was too obvious to not know it.

The only remaining bugs I had are fixed in an SRU update coming soon (compiz grid plugin wasn't working with gedit and some other apps, and window titles weren't showing in spread). Added the SRU ppa and everything works perfectly now . I am slowly starting to like compiz again, its starting to shape up. For a while it was pretty bad though (especially on 11.04 and 11.10)
Compiz also seems to work better with newer intel cards than mutter and kwin. Both mutter and kwin have bugs where you get tearing on fullscreen video, even with vsync and compositing on. It can be worked around in mutter by disabling culling and clipped redraws, but doesn't seem to be any workaround for kwin atm. With compiz I get no tearing out of the box, I only get this issue in compiz if I have unredirect fullscreen windows enabled, and in this case its not the fault of compiz, its the fault of the intel driver not being able to vsync without compositing.Last edited by bwat47; 29 November 2012, 01:43 PM.

Things are done too bad in the basic common sense way, even if they don't have so much qualified developers in the team.
That's why somewhat improved "forks" like Linux Mint work better than Ubuntu..
