Maybe I'm mistaken on this, but I'm fairly certain the screenshot they describe as "Unity" is just a heavily themed GNOME. Also, I've never seen Xfce stylized as "XFCe." I realize that's not the point of the article, but just something that stood out to me.

That is actually Unity. It's a mildly modified version used in Ubuntu Unity. Also, Xfce was also misspelled as XCFe.

Unity is GNOME, but it's the official name of Ubuntu's customized GNOME.

No it's not, Unity is a separate project that Ubuntu retired, but fans have kept it alive.

It's "technically" both. Ubuntu called their themeing Unity because that's the desktop it's supposed to emulate the style of.
