Actually Gnome 2 was really nice about that modularity. You could swap out the panel, the window manager or the file manager as you pleased.

That's what really turned me off Gnome 3, they basically threw away an entire ecosystem of third party apps.

MATE was able to pick of some of that, but especially when it comes to third party support, that level was never reached.

XFCE still has that in it, and there are DE that are pick and choose, but I find it hilarious that having useful features means Unix philosophy is being violated and its and its bad that it has functionality that users enjoy.
