"Devuan and Mint do a decent job shipping gnome 2 style environments by default."

I've been very, very impressed with the MATE desktop. It's actually GNOME 2, carefully upgraded to GTK 3, then with a sensible set of improvements. It's available on most distributions, but the lead developer is also the lead for Ubuntu MATE.

MATE does exactly what I need it to do without getting in the way, one thing GNOME 3 and Unity could never claim to do.
