FWIW, metacity is still woefully inadequate for my purposes, at least
after I've adapted my desktop use to take advantage of sawfish's power.
In particular, being able to restrict keybindings to more specific
contexts (to the title bar, to the root window), being able to use mouse
bindings as well as keybindings, and being able to map those keys to
external programs, the way that sawfish-xmms and rep-xmms enable me to
map the extra keys on my keyboard to xmms control.
I'd be curious to hear how many other people user sawfish's features
that way.
