"This is the first development release of Compiz Fusion, the result of more than six months of work and polish. Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the Compiz community plugin set 'Compiz Extras' and the parts of the Beryl project that are independent of the window manager core. The two communities have re-united to create a user experience for Linux that rivals anything available on other platforms."

Last time I checked, it's basic window management wasn't any better.
The major problem I have is that it doesn't do any edge detection, which means positioning windows against the screen edge is needlessly painful. It is also buggy at handling maximized windows when two displays are attached (the window flicks between being the size of each display). I also have other problems with gimmie integration that metacity does not have.

It's good to have Beryl and Compiz successfully merged, but I'm really rather disappointed that after so long in development, it's still missing really basic window management features. The simple experience of basic window management on Compiz Fusion with gtk-window-decorator is so massively far behind metacity. I filed bugs on various issues with Beryl last year, but they were ignored.
