What exactly did you do to make compiz freeze like that?

Ubuntu-Tweak itself only changes options that exist with Compiz (as would changing the options via gconf-editor). If compiz froze, it is a problem with Compiz, not with Ubuntu-Tweak. Again, we can simply fix it where it is broken, instead of complaining that it is broken (same argument everyone brings in the case of things like GNOME Shell yes?).

As for your last line - I'm lost as to what you mean.

Wouldn't it be nice to implement the tweaks options for apperance
somewhere in the system settings?

Ubuntu Tweak deserves the attention it is getting, but I hardly think it's ready to even be considered as a default app. Playing with it for less than two minutes, Compiz became completely unresponsive. Of course, I only had to switch to another console and kill it for it to be restarted, but most users would've had to resort to a brutal poweroff. That's not the apps fault, but the result is the same. The GUI needs a fair amount of work. It isn't all bad, but it needs improvements in several areas. For instance each "tab" uses two different displays, and there is no hint that this is so. This is also not a normal way of doing things. Many of the things in Admins has nothing to do with administration. The Tweaks part does contain several administration things. I also don't really understand what removing old thumbnails has to do with tweaking a system.

In my view, the app is promising, but is still a little confused and needs to mature and get a more defined sense of direction. I think the project is quite interesting, and it's possible I'll have something to contribute to it. But I don't see it as a candidate to be a default application. In any case, it'd have to be accepted into Ubuntu first, I think. I don't think these types of settings is for everyone.
