That's great to hear, I had just assumed Compiz wouldn't be available on Unity. I don't think I could live without Compiz Grid and Compiz Negative.

Edit: I see Unity is actually built with Compiz. Somehow I missed that on the Ubuntu Unity website way back when I started reading about it to evaluate it.

Unity is a plugin for compiz and relies on other parts of compiz for some of its functionality.

Originally Unity was built with Mutter, then they switched to Compiz.

CompizGrid has been made default with edge bindings. Behaves much more like Aero Snap now.
