Unity happened mostly because Canonical was betting on convergence - which neither Gnome2 nor Gnome3 were practical for.

Supposedly, it’s also super nice on mobile and tablet, I didn’t get a chance to try.

If you want gnome 2, Mint is still maintaining it as MATE and it’s in the Ubuntu repositories.
