Well, developer fighting may be fun, but as a user I have quite a few 
features outside of the cube zoom that I preferred in beryl.  I 
preferred the stability in compiz for the most part, but I still used 
beryl because of the following.
Emerald
Cube Zoom
A decently fast resize plugin (because of the stretch/outline options)
An unsupported tiling plugin (this is a needed feature that should be 
supported IMO)
I think the vidcap plugin is also for beryl originally isn't it?  (not 
that there aren't other ways to capture but it's a very easy one to use).
I also much prefer the beryl-settings manager.
