KWin is a full fetured and mature windowmanager, while Beryl/Compiz despite all their glitz are not. Last I tried it did not even have vertical maximize, like MMB does on KWin. And how well do they follow the ICCCM standards? And when you start a new windowmanager rather than join one of the myriad existing efforts, it sounds more like NIH. Add some more functionality to your already existing one is not.

Boot the newest Knoppix. [ Reply To This | View ] Re: Before anyone asks for screenshots of the Flame... by superstoned on Monday 26/Mar/2007, @01:17 Still, they have a lot of work to do. The most features are there, sure, but they have to clean up the pathetic mess that are their configuration tools/dialog, and they have to find and fix all the corner cases in window management - pretty much years off work. Also, if I understand the kwin dev's, they don't have a proper plugin system, but just expose their internals to the plugins - making backwards compatibility or sharing plugins with other windowmanagers very hard (impossible).

It doesn't work with kxdocker and yakuake to name a couple, and it just doesn't work nearly as well as kwin's focus stealing prevention.
