Please don't top-post.

Outright copying another OS's design is a crappy idea. If our target
audience is OSX/Windows users there's nothing wrong with taking design
cues but this example here is just bad on so many levels.

Another issue I see is it requires compositing. Now I'm fine with
cutting off a particular set of users because of HW requirements but  I
don't control Ubuntu. So until compositing is standard, or we cut off
certain users, we're unfortunately stuck.
