That being said, Cinnamon and MATE were produced because of the "fear of the new". While it has been a while since I've used MATE, Cinnamon is doing fairly well.

I'm not afraid of new things but the best "new" interfaces I've seen are just minor tweaks to what's been working since win95. I'm waiting for something truly unique that's an actual improvement. Until then, I'm still using xfce with all the candy turned off.
