System resources wise, I still get better performance with MATE, but MATE is
a fork of Gnome 2 and I am technically using older versions of Gnome
applications that are name differently. For example, Eye of Mate instead of
Eye of Gnome and Caja instead of Nautilus.
With Cinnamon, I am using the same Gnome 3 and GTK 3 apps from the Ubuntu
repos that Ubuntu uses with some exceptions like the the Nemo file manager.
Nemo is a fork of Nautilus that maintains the same features of version 3.2
before the Gnome team bastardized it in 3.4. They throw in some new features
not in Nautilus and I personally prefer Nemo now.
Now the question is how hard it would be to bring over the Trisquel theme for
Cinnamon.
