I concur. Not only is it not just about the interface, but it's about the Macintosh User Interface Guidelines and the ecosystem of applications that conform to it.
It would be nice to use a desktop environment that's inspired by the classic Mac interface (I particularly have a soft spot for the Platinum theme), but without an ecosystem of applications that conform to the Macintosh User Interface Guidelines, then all we have is yet another window manager.
It's the ecosystem of applications, like Microsoft Word 5.1, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe PageMaker, ClarisWorks, and others, combined with the Mac interface, that made the Mac so special.
