A great starting point in this discussion is the fact that Microsoft's
new CEO Satya Nadella has made a very data-driven decision and decided
to go back to the traditional desktop metaphor in Windows 9, the same
basic desktop design they've used since Windows 95.
Gnome Shell already has session called Gnome Classic (which retains the
legacy method from Microsoft Windows 9x) which is the default for both
RHEL and CentOS 7. What is currently lacking in Gnome Shell is
documentation and guideline due to manpower.
Also Apple with it's new design in Mac OS X Yosemite isn't diverging
from the traditional desktop design it's used since 2001 despite
having a very successful mobile iOS business.

Gnome Shell is very similar to OS X i.e. it can be customized to look
like OSX. Yosemite has some shell influences. Gnome Shell needs is
refinement. Note that it took several for OSX to reach the maturity so
why not Gnome Shell?
What Fedora Workstation tries to do is to provide a better entity to the
Linux world rather than looking like another either Windows or OSX clone.
Note that I am not part of Workstation team but follow the progress as a
Design Suite spin maintainer.
