Ask HN: What are some alternatives to Unity?

I have recently switched from mac to ubuntu but don't quite like the unity desktop. What are some stable, aesthetically pleasant alternatives to unity?

Cinnamon and Mate... though I am not sure if either is available on Ubuntu, but they should be!

Elementary. Not sure if it's an Ubuntu desktop, or just a debian-based distro. Also like Cinnamon, Mate on Mint.
