Well I mean it should be an option by default, not by installing another app to change it.
But fair enough, the idea is to keep options to a minimum but there will always be people who prefer performance over looks (though there is 2D of course but that lacks some functionality). I find it performs well enough and I always like a bit of eye candy so it doesn't bother me personally but I remember when installing on my Mum's laptop, it ran 3D but it ran like a tortoise with cramp so in her case any performance gain is worthwhile. I do have another idea actually but since it affects other things I will start another topic on that.
