Some people might *seriously* disagree with you. Take my 1/2 blind father, who didn't like using computers until he was introduced to the "Enhanced Zoom" compiz-fusion plugin.
Just because that "damned shiny stuff" doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it can't increase the usability of the desktop overall. My grandmother also got confused once when she minimized a window. She didn't know where it went. When introduced to compiz, she liked the minimize animation because it made sense where the window went.
Without some of the disgusting bling, a composited desktop can actually increase usability.
