Well, the other desktop environments also use other shells. For 
instance, what we used in earlier versions of Ubuntu is called Gnome 
Panel. We have Unity, Unity 2D, Gnome Shell, Lxpanel (from LXDE), 
Xfce4-panel (from Xfce), Avant Window Navigator, Cairo dock, Plasma 
stuff from KDE, Enlightenment... There are many.

Desktop environments contain a lot more than just the shell. But most 
shells can be used in most environments. For instance, there's nothing 
wrong with using Xfces panel in Gnome 3.
