Description
Metacity has many, many features but it does not have cool bling.
Things like preventing windows popping up when you are doing something else like putting in you password.
It does not loose windows like Compiz woobly shake of death.
It has better edge detection.
It does not blank windows like Compiz does sometimes.
It does not loose the color of an active window like Compiz.
And there should be constancy with keybinding and behavior.
It would be useful if somebody documented all the tweeks that Metacity has so it could be copied.

Voted down. I agree in spirit, but Ubuntu developers != Compiz developers.

I think the opposite would be a better solution, AKA: Make Metacity as cool as Compiz ;)

I agree completely.
Metacity was one of the things that drove me away from gnome.

Handling of fullscreen apps is RATHER MORE STABLE in metacity, than in compiz.
When using metacity new windows do not interfere in work of fullscreen app. Notification bubbles draw over without any consequences.
When using compiz, any distraction leads to forced app minimization, sometimes it is not possible to return back: app is totally black, or freeze, or can not take back mouse focus.
None of this problems are present in metacity.
So, +1 !
Oh yes and both WMs MUST HAVE this functionality: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2205/
