I have started using XFCE since ubuntu 12.04 came out, and it find it quite usable. Easiest way to get it is Xubuntu. Linux Mint has and is actively developing Cinnamon and MATE that are very nice options. I suspect that Gnome3 will die, and Unity may wind up adding back features that make it more usable for the desktop. Some of the features they have are pretty nice for small screens.
