A lot of the visual tricks do help usability, too.

Nat (I think) made the example of how windows are (un)minimized to/from the taskbar. That makes it clearer and more obvious what the relationship between the taskbar and the windows are.

The movement animation for switching virtual desktops also makes the metaphor clearer for many people.
