Ah. Well the answer I got a while back was this, Ted:
It's what I use and I'm very pleased with it.
Ted,
I use Mint Cinnamon 17.3 and 18.1 every day, and can confirm that although they are based on Gnome 3, the functionality you require is built-in. LMC uses a tool called expo to manage workspaces (right-click on a workspace to launch it).
You may not be aware but the Mint team got fed up of the way Gnome was going and forked it, keeping and enhancing the parts they like and the community wanted, and adding new functionality.
I can't recommend LMC enough, and can confirm that - personally - I didn't much like MATE.
Anyway, you don't need MATE to have the functionality you require, nor do you need Gnome 2 if you go with LMC.
Maybe Ben could do you a live disk of both LMC and LMM for you to try.
Cheers, Laurie.
