As an artist I appreciate the eye candy of Beryl. Plus I actually find
it rather useful--but that is me; with many windows and various apps
open on the different cube faces it is so efficient to either scroll
the mouse wheel to rotate around the virtual desktops, and a simple
move of the mouse cursor to a hot zone shows me all windows of all
apps lined up so I can find what I want to work on and go to it
rapidly. Functionality aside thought, I find the artistic aesthetics
of Beryl very nice as I do a fine piece of art.
