Damn, I knew Gnome was doing badly, but din't know it was this bad! :|
I personally am a fan of Gnome, and hope that they become relevent again. Unity is too fancy for my linking, and Unity 2D, which seems an option, is now deprecated! :|

Basically Linux Mint is the distro for people who used to like Ubuntu, but don't want unfamiliar postmodern GUI metaphors in Unity or Gnome 3 shoved down their throats.
On Ubuntu that's lubuntu.
xfce is cool, but it's gotten too visible for me. lxde/lubuntu is just windows and a panel.
Personal preference, personal choice. Glad you like xfce.
