Compiz is a compositor. It manages how windows are displayed within the X server. A side effect of this is it can do fancy things with windows and the desktop (which is essentially another window). At its core, Compiz doesn’t actually do that much interactive stuff, rather handling things for other applications.
It isn’t even a window decorator (though it does control which windows are decorated and by what).
Unity is a shell. It’s just an application that lets you use your computer. It’s like the standard panels… obviously it works differently but it has much the same role.
The confusion between Unity and compiz comes from Unity requiring a heavy compositor to do many of its fancier effects. But Unity is discrete and essentially it wouldn’t need to be compiz that handles the effects… That will be especially true if/when Wayland comes along with its own built-in compositor.

훔…그나저나 정말 Wayland로 가면 어떻게 될런지…캐노니컬의 선택에 맡겨야 할까요?
그리고 그때에도 그놈3를 사용할 수 있을까요?
