    I use Beryl (SVN version!) on my main desktop every day. I used to be skeptic like you, but after trying it, I'd never go back.

    Wobbly windows are pure useless eye candy, but transparency (colour-specific transparency is in development,I think), expose-like and wall plugins are really useful. Rain and wobbly are just technology showcases -I think that we'll see useful applications of Beryl/Compiz soon.
