That's a realy old screenshot. GNOME 3 doesn't look like that anymore[1].

I am on GNOME 3.22 and the title bars are still crazy - look at the Night Light screenshot for example.

Most GNOME apps look great because they titlebar is actually a toolbar, but I spend most of my time in portable third-party apps which have large, empty titlebars. This is the one thing I immediately envy when I see a Unity screenshot.

Random nit: is it just me or is the font rendering pretty terrible in the "web" screenshot?

Font rendering is entirely up to how you configure it. Install GNOME Tweak Tool and go to Fonts. Keep in mind that different settings will look better on different monitors. But try setting Hinting to Slight and Antialiasing to RGBA. After a reboot the settings will take effect.
