This is not the correct approach, and should not be followed.

Incorrect - GNOME is a *nix desktop environment. Not fully taking advantage
of pre-existing work is thoughtless... *Especially* when it gives us so many
advantages over the competition. Take, for instance, the many people who
would love to see X die a quick death - they can't for the life of them see
why X is such an important piece of a networked environment's infrastucture.

GNOME tries to be GNOME. Don't worry about Windows, don't worry about Macs;
certainly look for and assess their virtues - the really awesome things -
but ignore specifics. The most important thing to us is the usability of
GNOME, in and of itself and its environment.
