Out of the box, Fedora is simple to install and easy enough to use (even
*with* compiz) that a newcomer should find it mostly simple enough to use.

beryl's settings panel is a UI road traffic accident in the making, and may
well not be simple enough to make sense to a newcomer by the time FC7 is
readied.

I'd have to disagree that it's ready for general consumption just yet. Not
to mention the fact that some GLX/AIGLX implementations aren't mature enough
yet to run it stably and without issues like the screen turning white.
