Not at all: I've no idea what "compiz" is (and I don't need to for my
point here), but isn't this an argument for using gnome? In other words,
whatever is most popular will get more apps, and/or apps will build most
easily for it?

Whether "Gnome is the Microsoft Windows of linux desktops" is a good or
bad point depends on your personality/philosophy :-).
