Yep. That's one of the reasons I have always really appreciated GNOME: they're steadfast about buttons that do what they say, and it makes everything so much nicer to deal with for me. Part of this is GTK does a good job avoiding situations where stock OK / Cancel buttons are an easy way out. I think a reason for the vast number of them in other places is developers are lazy gits and lots of UI frameworks make it effortless (like, a single function that blocks your thread effortless) to create really lame question dialogs with ready-made generic labels.


GTK gets bad points for me because it forces me to use their file choosers, no choice to avoid that then attempt some runtime patching the applications.11
