You are not alone.  Seems to have knocked Ubuntu desktop's popularity 
a bit.  Linux Mint is looking good on the Distrowatch page hit ranking 
list...

I was a keen user of a mixed KDE and Gnome desktop for years.  I still 
do that but now my main desktop is LXDE with the Cairo dock in the 
bottom of the screen.   LXDE task bar on the top of the screen.  Looks 
a lot like a Mac. Works for me.
