Parent article: Cinnamon 2.0 released

This is great news! When I last tried Cinnamon, it was too buggy to use, and I ended up on Mate. Now that they have taken control of their underpinnings, they can promise a good experience.

It's time to try it again.

Definitely. I've been using it since the start, and it's been getting better and better. I also like how they have a balanced relationship with their users: not every idea is accepted, or gets implemented (mainly because of lack of manpower), but users are surely listened to. A breath of fresh air after ... well I won't beat a dead horse ;)

I don't recall running into Cinnamon bugs, as such - when I gave it a try, what bothered me was that too much of crud from Gnome 3 showed through. Okay, so they changed the crud to have a green tint - that's not a color scheme I care for. ;-/

What I find most interesting here is a suggestion that Cinnamon seems to be moving in the direction that Mate took from the beginning - using sane infrastructure that they control rather than a seething mass of libraries controlled by ADD teenagers who are more interested in what's new and different than in what's time tested and proven. Perhaps there will be Grand Unification somewhere down the road?
