    Well, other differences usually go very deep into the details and are ultimately a matter of taste. It’s certainly not the case that all of these have a unique selling point, because well, they’re not products trying to sell themselves.

    Having said that, these are the high-level differences as I see them:

    Cinnamon:

    • Very Windows-like (aesthetics and keyboard shortcuts)
    • one polished workflow
    • covers relatively many exotic usage scenarios relatively well

    MATE:

    • relatively lightweight
    • one polished workflow

    Xfce:

    • relatively lightweight
    • very modular and customizable
