GNOME 2. Although I started with a lovely KDE with Open SUSE 10.1, GNOME (with Ubuntu) was my tool of choice.

I mostly use headless Linux these days, but when I have a GUI at hand, I always miss the old GNOME. I heard there are some continuation project, haven’t looked into them yet, though.

The name you're looking for is MATE desktop. I've been using it for many years because I never liked Gnome 3 (constant churn, breaking plugins, themes etc). I'm using it on Debian but there's also Ubuntu MATE and Fedora & Opensuse spins

Although MATE does not technically use GTK2 now, but it is pretty good in sticking with the look and feel of a traditional customization desktop. I pretty much recommend Ubuntu MATE

Ubuntu MATE is excellent, but more people should check out Solus MATE if they would like to have rolling release - it's a very underrated distro.
