Graphically, in my opinion, Linux has nothing going for it. I know I'm going to get flamed so much for that statement, but I'm probably not going to with-draw it. Compiz fusion is very glitchy, and in my opinion, extremely gimmicky,
You wanna see gimmicky, check out Enlightenment 17. It really is nauseating, at least to me. After about five minutes using E17, I felt like I was going to puke. Anyways, Compiz is only as gimmicky as you make it- the great benefit to being able to customize your own UI. For a time mine was pretty gimmicky, with the paper airplane closing windows and such, but I eventually moved to more conservative tastes (I only made closing windows burst into flames).

the WM are okay, but I can only stand GNOME and even then it's no where near as stable as Aqua or Aero imho. This is of course, from the perspective of someone who wants an out-of-the-box GUI. I know you can mess around in command line to eventually get a non-glitchy GUI.
I have never touched the command line to configure my GUI, and mine was always fairly stable. I did manage to find a combination of plugins that caused a crash, but for the most part Compiz was quite stable for me, and it gets better with every release. The version of Compiz in the latest Ubuntu was very good.
