> There are some undesirable differences with the earlier version:
I wouldn't call them undesirable. The old Glide effect had some problems with
being too much distracting (especially, when you're working with programs that
are dialog-heavy). To fix that, the Glide effect was rewritten to make it more
subtler, fix some serious issues on multiple monitor setups, and to make it
possible to have different animations when opening and closing windows (it
doesn't
look good when you close a window and it rotates around its top edge).
So, I wouldn't call differences between the old and the new effect as
regressions.

In that case, the effect will become distracting in long term, so I'm against
it.
If I get more complaints about that, I'll increase initial angles by several
degrees
and maybe make the Scale effect slightly less subtler by decreasing initial
scales,
but that's pretty much it.
Yes, the Glide effect and the Scale effect are slightly similar (because in
both
cases, animated windows grow in size, and both effects are subtle), but after
using
each of them for a long period of time, the difference becomes more noticeable.

In the old version of the effect, we were scaling windows. In the rewritten
one,
we're animating z-coordinate of the window. Because of that, you won't be able
to get precisely old glide effect.

What do you mean by "it's not smooth"?

Hmm, yeah, maybe. (Please file for this issue a separate bug report)
