gnome3 definitely has become a major turnoff, i basically stopped using gnome at all ever since they screwed up with gdm's configuration for login screen's theme at some point, sincei felt such a feature should have been considerred normal and i should be doing any tweaks to do that. I just use my nix environment remotely now, my mac's front end is fine!<br>

I tested Cinnamon on Mint 12 and currently using the same on LMDE.<br>
Well... To know if Cinnamon is better than gnome depends a lot on
what you expect from a desktop environment.<br>
<br>
Cinnamon sits on top on Gnome, so you're ultimately using the same
thing but interacting differently.<br>
I'd advise you moving to Cinnamon if you prefer the old school
menu... But if you want it to perform better or be less buggy, then
you'll be disappointed.<br>
<br>
Better migrating with XFCE or something else in that respect.<br>
