It's odd because after really trying and giving Unity a fair chance, reinstalling some Gnome was truly a breath of fresh air recently ... Also the kids I work with like it better cause apart from the huge strip of icons on the left that always gets in the way, the rest of Unity's features are not very discoverable.

But maybe that's just a problem with Unity, instead of a good thing about Gnome. I'm curious to try out this Cinnamon thing for Mint, what's it based on/looks like?

Cinnamon is, as far as I know, a fork of Gnome. I have it installed - prefer it to unity so far.
