I used MATE for about a year and then switched to Cinnamon because of some issues I've had with MATE. I find Cinnamon the best DE for Linux. It has the best UI, shortcuts and the best file manager.

As for GNOME, it's way too dumbed-down. You have to find and install dozens of extensions to have a decent desktop.

Same. I have really enjoyed Cinnamon after taking a spin with everything.

Anxiously awaiting the Mint 19 update with all of the new Cinnamon work too.
