WindowMaker under GNU/Linux and BSD was like that too...

But, OFC, both WindowMaker and Mac OSX come from the same NeXT grandaddy...

well, windowmaker only copied the style, so it's more like a reverse adoption, not a descendant.
Not just that, even if Wing Is Not GNUstep. It was built to host tons of GNUStep applications and their behaviour.
i have used WindowMaker but also the original NeXTstep for years, and WindowMaker's integration with GNUstep apps and its emulation of the NeXTstep interface always felt incomplete.
