"Linux user interfaces have been catching up with Windows (if not Mac)" is a common misconception.
I love the tabbed file system views in Gnome. It's much more comfortable than the Finder. Windows Explorer too is simply terrible. I have been using Windows at work and Gnome at home and can't even begin to decribe all the ways Windows is completely broken from a usability standpoint. People tolerate it because they know nothing different and/or are unwilling to learn.
In many aspects, Gnome and KDE have already surpassed Windows and OSX.
