Beryl forked from Compiz and even though Compiz was the name people knew, Beryl was more popular for a while because it had like 10-20x more functionality out of the box. At some point they merged back together into Compiz Fusion and lost almost all that additional functionality, as well as most of the momentum it had, then was later renamed back to Compiz.
