I meant by looks because everytime you get a notification, it tells you at the top right in the bar, on apple devices it covers the status bar and part of the notification center drops down. A bit of a difference there.
I tend to stay away from any type of tweak that I have to learn to use differently. It's not that hard to use the dock and it can be hidden. But it's a neat idea indeed.
