I *really* like xfwm4 look and feel. Compositor is nice, but could
behave faster (I guess) using openGL stuff in my intel card. And some
fancy stuff like bluring the titlebar text is nice. Cube effect, wobbly
windows etc. dont really attract me. I really prefer xfwm4 for all
window management stuff.

Something I like too is their alt-tab effect (but I guess this isn't
really tied to openGL stuff, except maybe the real-time update of
windows).

I really see openGL in xfwm as a “bonus”, not a complete rewrite :)

Cheers,
