Good design explicitly values borrowing/stealing. Unlike the tech rat race, UI design is very happy to credit inspiration.


Sure, but I don't think this is "inspiration" so much as blatant, wholesale copying, at least if the screenshots and copy on the page are representative. ElementaryOS borrows heavily from Apple style without being an outright copy, that seems way less icky to me.
