I'd stay away from Xfce4 it hasn't had much activity from the developer
for *some* time.
However Cinnamon is a good alternative as it's actively maintained and
uses the less buggy GTK3. MATE afaik is built with the GTK2 stuff that
is quite buggy. Or with Gnome-Shell there is fallback and other modes
that will probably give you the familiar interface.
That being said maybe give Gnome-Shell some time - I disliked it at
first, but after a month came around and can appreciate it. There are a
plethora of gnome-shell extensions also that can help one customize the
shell to look like the traditional desktop.
