I really dig the GTK's thick header bars and the widgets you can put there. Pretty sure Apple was the inspiration but it's a very elegant use of otherwise wasted space. I recently made a simple app in Go with GTK and it was quite pleasant: https://github.com/oxplot/pdfrankenstein https://github.com/oxplot/pdfrankenstein

It is a bit of a tossup though. Some apps make good use of this space and some apps have a thick empty header bar which wastes more space. Overall I think it is good and hopefully apps adapt but it is definitely hit-and-miss at this point.
