Re: Thanks for resisting peer pressure and waiting

I read here on the dot (I believe) some time ago that kwin implemented compiz like functionality in a trivial amount of code. Compiz is something like research and kwin is something like realistic implementation of said research. Compiz is huge and buggy whereas kwin has all the kinks worked out, is lean, and is fast. This is mainly because it has been around for over a decade (right?). Last I checked the devs did make sure it works with 4.0 anyway ;) Guess that goes along with the whole "future proofing" idea as well.
