People mistook it for THE performance hog in the system when vista first came out, and agreeably it glitched out quite a few older apps and games.
Most people though aren't familiar with how desktop management and overlaying/compositing has changed, and the fact that part of Aero is its compositing, and that it was about high time MS started doing it and it's a good thing. As Luc said if you think it's a performance hog (and it really isn't, but people will placebo out on anything), or you dislike the effects, you can turn those off individually. Modern desktop compositing though you do want to have. I still hear people saying you should turn off your page file for faster performance (rubbish), complaining "their windows takes all the memory!" but you can "fix it" by making it cache less aggressively (more rubbish, an OS that doesn't use every last byte of memory smartly is an OS not worth using) and so on.
