Here is a list of usability issues concerning GNOME. "Some time ago I decided to note everything that didn't make sense to me while using Hoary/Breezy with GNOME, or what I thought could be implemented better. I found the time to go through the list again, clarifying somt things and writing some use cases where each problem applies. Some of these might seem very nitpicky, but details are important too."

I believe that GNOME uses the windows style order out of pure familiarity concerns at this point.
Probably right, strange they haven't change that:-) Personally I don't think the old windows order are the best usability vise. But people are used to it, and changing it will result in a rather heated argument.
I remember the heated discussion from when the KDE default changed, close on the left and help, sticky and min/max on the right(KDE2 beta 2 i think). The Laptop windows decoration with default button order, if you are curious. Besides don't vista copy that one now? close on the left and double width for the important buttons.
