Fedora has more GNOME developers so more effort is obviously going to go 
there but I don't see any reason for you to be offended by that. 
nm-applet is GNOME specific so obviously it should follow the general 
GNOME design ideas. Besides, if you are designing a UI for general 
users, not exposing too much technical terms just makes sense.
