The most modern thing about Cinnamon is the underlying technology - mostly Gnome 3. Or do I get things wrong here?

The mobile leauncher, huge headers and icons is another. But at least Android lets you place icons on your homescreen or change basic settings without third party tools , a luxury that you cannot find with Gnome.
I could spend an hour or so ranting on it... I mean, it looks terrible! Who designed that?! It is a serious regression over the older icon (which really looked like a phone (and this is why I have not upgraded my phone yet))... What are they even thinking?
Back to topic, yup, I do agree. But that's 'cuz GNOME is mainly touch-oriented (ironically it does not support touchscreens well).

However I think their fork of Mutter is quite old and isn't very far along in terms of Wayland support.

Its ok to disagree. I believe Cinnamon is modern, it comes with lots of great features and yes many great things come from gnome3 (since its based on gnome3). I really like the dark theme, the transparencies and the window effects. Most importantly, it comes with "sane" defaults and I don't need to install anything extra. Finally, it allows me to customize it, for example I prefer the bar to be at the top with a specific height so its more usable on my ultra-wide screen monitors.
When I'm forced to use the gnome3 interface, I realize how unfriendly and unintuitive it is for me. Maybe its more friendly to people who come from a MacOS or similar interface.

But I do appreciate that the big players like Redhat and Canonical invest in a common desktop. Maybe in the future they'll invest in a more user friendly interface.
Until they change their interface, I'll keep using Cinnamon, which is modern, friendly and usable for my work needs. It is also my goto choice for all enterprise linux desktops that I manage and never heard any complaints (unlike gnome3's interface).
I'm glad Fedora comes in a Cinnamon spin!
