When on Unix/Linux I mostly use Gnome, and so here are some of the best third party GTK+ applications around I have found.

There is hardly any distinction between GNOME applications and Gtk+ applications. An application doesn't have to use any of the GNOME libraries for it be a gnome application. It is enough for an application just to use Gtk+ and adhere to the GNOME HIG for it to be recognized as a GNOME application.
Your assumption that a GNOME application has to use a GNOME library is broken. In fact, there are a few applications which use some GNOME libraries that aren't GNOME applications. What matters is how well an application is integrated into the GNOME environment, and how consistently it behaves with other applications. And almost all the Gtk applications I have used are not only consistent, they behave like any other GNOME/Gtk application would. Adhering to the GNOME HIG is a different story altogether.
