I can't agree more with this! From technical side, Clutter's 3D effect is cool! 
But from user's side, maybe I am not the Y generation, I don't see the reason 
why I need to browse an webpage on a 3D box surface or view a movie while at 
the same time rotate it. What benefit can it bring to me? I just hope my device 
can run as fast as possible, and my battery can last as long as possible. So 
yes, the CPU and GPU runs faster and faster, But why not save the power, I 
don't think the performance is already good enough, I can see there are lots of 
complains on the current atom based MID about power consumption and speed.

Anyway, It's just my personal feeling, and I don't have the data. So, If 
clutter can achieve the 3D effect without trade-off on performance and power 
consumption, I will welcome it. If not, at least, can we give the user more 
option if they don't need the fancy 3D effect on window managements? Let GPU do 
it's work on some program who really need 3D effect.
