I know that for my experience, it was a slight pain to get compiz working.  On top of that is the Nvidia bug that makes compiz not work so well on my computer.  Overall, my experience with it has not been too good.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful when it’s working right.  I can see how some of these features can improve productivity by a lot since it gives you a grasp on "where" the desktop is.  I would expect the cube to be very productive when you get used to it.  Some people like scale, which is used with expose.  Some may even like the wobbly windows, but I cannot find how this can help you to be more productive.
