You're missing out...

So, I love Mint. Specifically Mint+Gnome. Mate is solid enough, that is, if you're looking for a WinXP'ish WindowManager(WM). Compiz is unstable with Mate(Unless you enjoy getting your hands dirty. Personally, my path lead me to install Fedora with Gnome 3.6.'whatever' deployed as a default WM).
Gnome3 is highly intuitive, the GUI seems primed for addaptation to touch/xypolled input, & a high level of customization(as customary with Gnome) really sets Gnome3 apart. It is different... and easy, powerful, quick. With almost no learning curve for anybody who has ever used Windows/Apple and Android/iOS, this WM seems to be primed for universal application, as well.
I'm still working on the learning curve with Fedora, but I'm feeling pretty loyal to Gnome3... For now.
**sidenote: Mate goes to great lengths to give users a straightforward method to customize there system. Technically, I could've put Gnome 3.6.'whatever' on Mint. But why bother? It's already on Fedora... by default. Besides, it's probably a good idea for me to get acquainted with the rpm's and yum's and stuff.
And oh yeah! I didn't bother with Cinnamon when I realized people were using it to make it easy to transition to Gnome3. God!! I love irony.
BTW:::: I donated to the Mint project.Receipt No:0417-6454-8913-2463. Maybe that means something to Clement Lefebvre. Maybe not.
