In the end, GNOME 3 beats them all. Mint will be a fish bowl for all these "GNOME-3-sucks-I-want-back-something-sane"-users, also known as "learning resistant" or "classical desktop lovers". Ubuntu will stay for the beginners, fanboys and for your TV (yeah, it's comming) and openSUSE will satisfy the rest ;-)
BTW, I did some provocative comments about Ubuntu, Unity and Mint, if anyone feels offended by that, I can understand if you want to punch me in the face (not literally, on the thread of course ;-) ), so
1,2,3,4 fight! ;-)

PS: Ubuntu's quite okay for beginners and professionals who don't want to configure their systems that much and just need something working, and Unity has it advantages, for sure, but to do something _real_ important with it, it falls flat on its face.
The "discussion", not anyone in particular, seems awfully/woefully akin to the *noise* recently about kde4 vs kde3 :^)
I guess there will always be.....
ps: comment not directed at *anyone*, merely an observation.

SO now we have MATE and Cinnamon, which both fail to address all the issues. Frankly, MATE seems to be a major over reaction and clinging to the past. Then, Cinnamon doesn't address the issue of modularity or the dependance on compositing 3D acceleration. Though, that may be fixed later.
