Let's face it, the most important, truly alternative, hobby operating systems that are somewhat usable today are three: MenuetOS, SkyOS and AtheOS. All three are hobby, open source OSes, written from people who enjoy coding low level programming. Read more about the differences between these OSes and which one you might want to try out.

Having a menubar like the MacOS plus menubars on applications like in Windows. One of the Developer Release versions of BeOS (I forget which one(s)) had some menus on the local application, but say, other as part of Browser (browser being an older 'version' of Tracker.) This would be okay, I guess, if there had been consistency in the types of items that appeared, but there wasn't. Sometimes a certain menu was in one place, sometimes another. This is why they hired someone to write a GUI Guideline.
Gnome probably does this better, but I remember it being horrible last time I looked at it. Mac/Amiga style is fine on its own, Windows etc fine on its own - but the two are clunky when mixed.
