Additionally, I have installed Linux Mint with MATE(a fork of gnome2) on my other pc which works quite well also so that might be an option for you. Apparently the folks at Debian have denied a request to add MATE to Debian on the grounds that it would necessitate too much code duplication.

OTOH cinnamon *is* in Debian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_(user_interface) Does not appear to be in Debian 7, though.
