It seems to be focused on creating a few applications on its own, which are different somehow. The GNOME project seems to have the goal of usability (easiness etc.) but also has pretty clear criteria (etc. the dictionary doesn't have bookmarks as in Elementary OS) I really like Gnome 3 on Fedora 15 which as always stays close to the upstream. But still more choice of applications running on Linux to choose from is always a good thing :-).
