Many thanks, Laurie. That clarifies a number of things! And, yes, live disks of LMC and LMM is an excellent suggestion. And I like (and really sympathise with) the reasons the Mint team went the way they did. In fact, "the way Gnome was going" turned out to be the main reason I have'nt upgraded my Debian for years!
As I understand it, Cinnamon is cloned Gnome 2 but then improved. Mate is Mint's replacement for Gnome. I expect that they're both "better" than Gnome 3 for you, and for me.
According to Wikipedia it's Gnome 3-based.
This desktop is running LMC 17.3:
