Lets think about Mac OS X, from the beginning they have many things different than Linux DE (infact different from Windows too), for example the close minimize maximize button is in the left side of the title bar, and the global menu, the mac dock etc, none of these are available in any DE's default installation (but yes, you can customize of course). So I guess, GNOME devs wanted to create something like this, which is totally different than others.<br>
