This was also my experience.
The only customisation i've done is:
1. Moving the panel, depending on what my feelings about proper panel placement are at the time.
2. Removing all the default shortcuts, because they collide with IntelliJ and/or are useless, and defining a few of my own
3. Setting up custom compose key sequences
Removing the shortcuts was done in the UI, but i really wish i could do it in a config file instead, because it's a pain to spend ten minutes clicking around. I had to hit the command line to set up compose keys, although i think this is an X problem, not a Cinnamon problem.
