I find compositing to be quite useful on a few scenarios. Hovering the icon over a program in the task bar makes it simple to quickly monitor the operation of a terminal app or what have you whilst reading something in a web browser without having to go through the trouble of rearranging your windows around. Also, the semi transparency while moving windows makes it easy to just click on the title bar and see what's going on in a window underneath. I love the scale effect where you can mouse to a corner and all of your windows show ike on Mac osx. That is a boon for window management when you have a lot going on. I also like the ease of compiz's zoom effect. Makes "full screening" flash videos much less of a hassle. Its the little things like all of these that add up to a great user experience for me from compiz.
