Wasn't Unity built on top of Gnome 3 because the Ubuntu maintainers didn't like stock Gnome 3? Or have I got my timeline wrong?

Well, going by wikipedia:

> Unity is a graphical shell for the GNOME desktop environment originally developed by Canonical Ltd. for its Ubuntu operating system. It debuted in 2010 in the netbook edition of Ubuntu 10.10.

> GNOME 3 was released in 2011.

No unity was built as a standalone product.

Then later they stopped development and skinned gnome 3 to mimic the look.
