I will repeat 'to me'. I never said it wasn't useful to some people but I 
do not want that behavior. I do not want windows to go full screen if they 
get too close to a margin. I do not want to suddenly see a screen full of 
icons if the cursor gets to close to the upper left corner. I do not want 
virtual desktops displayed as a rotating polyhedron. I do not want windows 
that quiver like a bowl of jelly when I move them. 

Again, that's me. Do what you want. However I do not like unexpected 
behavior because someone decided it was kool and made it a default.
