I remember experiencing that too, and that drove me away from using
Cinnamon. In the end I went for something that is as minimal as
possible, so it doesn't interfere with any debugging or software
shortcuts etc. I decided to moving back to good old X11 window managers,
not desktop environments. I settled on JWM (Joe's Window Manager) and
have stuck with it for near 5 years now. It stays out of my way, it only
occupies 2 or 3 keyboard shortcuts (which I configured) and only uses
8-15MB of RAM.

But yes, I feel your pain in having to set up a new system, or
reconfiguring a desktop environment to what you are comfortable with. We
are creatures of habit, and don't like change! :-)
