AFAIK Cinnamon is a real fork, not a dressed up Gnome 2 look-alike (that was LM MGSE, where they used extensions to mimick a Gnome 2 environment based on Gnome Shell). As you can read in the iguru post, they suffer from the current GTK3 instability, true, but otoh the Linux Mint RC is just now out and Cinnamon 1.6 looks sweet:

Really looking forward to this release :)
