"Do you really want to discard changes? Yes/No/Cancel"

Yep, this is totally sad. That is why requested operation should be put on first:

"Save current document....?"

so that user does not have to read through the line(s) to make a decision.

About monopoly: yes it is. But users made it a monopoly, because they decided that the free alternative is not good/consistent/easy for them enough. Do not take it as a critique of your work, I just try to help Gnome gain a bigger market share. ;-)
