I agree 100% with #177 comments, and I would like to see some responses from ubuntu. (I know this is not the right place to discuss, but seeing no progress at all in a supposedly long term supported version is very annoying)

I think that in order to success in gaining some market share, they need to focus in getting stable versions, rather than changing things that annoy a substantial part of their current users. Getting stable versions means to fix bugs after release too, and not only for the next release, at least for the LTS versions.
I am not going to change to another version which may solve some serious compiz bugs, but introduces a lot of unwanted features and probably lots of different bugs.
So, my chosen alternative has been to stick to LTS, but I have changed to Cinnamon Desktop.
It doesn't use Compiz, so no bugs, and you get a modern desktop with the classic gnome functionality, and some useful effects similar to compiz (except no cube).
