X11, Window Managers "Beryl 0.2.0 will be released shortly and I spent time the last week testing out Beryl 0.2.0 RC2 on Kubuntu's Edgy Eft. The improvements found in 0.2.0 are simply amazing. Improvements in usability features, improvements in the pure 3D eye candy, and even the Beryl Settings Manager has been improved (the layout has become much more logically laid out). As you read through this preview of Beryl 0.2.0 and see some of the screenshots, I think you will get a firm grasp on how impressive Beryl can be. Basically, Beryl makes OS X and Vista look old and antiquated."

I wouldn't call this utility remarkably easy. There are many usability problems I can spot on a screenshot you have provided and although I think Compiz is not perfect it's way cleaner and follows Gnome philosophy of providing sane defaults and resonable amount of settings (ones actually needed).
