The Raindrops are just a demonstration of what is possible. The cube is getting close to be useful, since it gives some spatiality to the desktops.
Other compiz plugins are really extremely useful:
I use the fast zoom quite frequently and together with the contrast increase functions i would guess it is a dream to use for people with reduced eyesight.
The places and expose clones are a great to work with, i nearly stopped using the taskbar since i have those.
Different visual effects for closing and minimizing windows give a very subtle and pleasing cue if the app is closed or just iconified.
Get over the early demos and have an in depth look at what compiz does nowadays, it is far beyond being a toy these days.

Well, if you add enough pictures together, I suppose you will have unlimited space for all it's worth. Having said that, I am already bored with it watching half way through. So either I scroll for a mile to get my window or I click to get there straight -- but clicking something in the taskbar brings me there without that application, too. It is a chocolate tea-pot.

Please can someone explain to me why this has "unlimited" desktop space? It's not as infinite as the term "unlimied" suggests. By the way, what's the use of this? What is useful of having videos pinned to a wall of a building (with out any perspective correction, btw) or having frogs walking across the screen?
