I'd agree with that if you only said "look". Both Gnome and OSX are pretty flexible eye-candy interfaces these days and you can make them look similar. The GNUstep "look" changers like Chameleon are still pretty early days so far, IMO.
I think I disagree about "feel" especially if you start extending the desktop with other applications and your own programs. Gnome doesn't have a *Talk scripting system and most of the applications seem pretty different to OSX ones.
GNUstep's incomplete in some frustrating ways, though. More eyeballs, please ;-)
