Metacity beats compiz-fusion :P
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes! guys and gals, our beloved window manager is kicking ass in composite
| land. There’s a new branch on metacity subversion were developers are working
| on composite features for metacity. So far we have, transparency, shadow and
| ALT+tab Godness, and now that I’m running a composite WM i can use the nice
| MAC OS X like dock bar, AWN. All this without the lag (and CPU masacre)
| introduced in compiz-fusion when scrolling applications.

KDE ~3.3+ has all these features as well. KDE 4.0 is stunning and there's also
Metisse.
