but no one can deny Microsoft and Apple haven't been plucking ideas from GNOME since 3.0 came out
What ideas has Apple been plucking from GNOME 3?
(Also, double negations.)

Not sure if copied specifically from GNOME, but macOS was really late to the party with features like virtual desktops and window snapping/tiling (and all of this is still at best half-assed).

Those features predate GNOME 3 by decades, and aren't unique to it at all. Virtual desktops were in CDE back in the 1980s, and window snapping was in KDE 2 I think, back in the late 1990s.

Gnome 3 largely brought the widgets in titlebar look to desktop which has since been adopted as a standard piece of OS X design.
IMHO GNOME looks more modern and refreshing (and definitely more innovative) than macOS or Windows. Sure, its UX is debatable, but no one can deny Microsoft and Apple haven't been plucking ideas from GNOME since 3.0 came out (given that I find GNOME 3 stupid, i think this is a bad thing).
