No, Gnome is attempting to provide a consistent look-and-feel across a
range of applications that run under X, one that's more comfortable
for the average user. Things like standard scrollbars, help
facilities, menus, etc. This is used as well as, not instead of, X
Window.

Why don't you download the Gnome stuff for yourself and give it a try?
Well worth it, I'd say.
