To hell with that. I /like/ OS X and I find the interface a /lot/
nicer than GNOME (and I quite like GNOME.) If Ubuntu make GNOME a
whole lot more Mac-like, that's fine by me.

I find it a little odd that all of the big Unix GUIs - KDE, GNOME,
LXDE, XFCE - all seem to mainly copy Windows. The ones that don't -
that copy other systems (ROX, WindowMaker, GNUstep) or do their own
weird thing (Enlightenment) do not seem to prosper. How come more
don't, ahem, "take inspiration" from Apple design?
