As someone who runs a super-boring, stock tiler with zero decoration or bling; couldn't agree more. It's this kind of thing that gets new users interested in Linux. _I_ started using Linux because I saw some video of wobbly windows, and desktops on a giant rotating cube.
Me too! I was drawn to trying out Ubuntu from seeing all the cool Compiz effects.
It's probably not the same one, but I suddenly had Project Looking Glass flashbacks
That was Compiz iirc. I remember turning it on for a laugh.
KDE 6, at least as the latest Kubuntu has it configured, has the wobble back by default.
It hasn't annoyed me enough to disable it just yet, but it's only been a week.
