This is a vital project to bring back a desktop environment that had not finished its usefulness. Please support this.

MATE is the Linux Community's answer to GNOME 3 and Unity's failure to address user concerns of a K.I.S.S. principled, fully-functional desktop environment that "just works". There are some users who want something new, something fresh and often something like Unity or GNOME shell. But while these UIs may be pretty, they pay for their aesthetics by trading off functionality and performance. For everyone else, there's MATE :-) Disclaimer: I am a happy user of GNOME 3.2 shell on my desktop, but I think for my netbook, MATE is a far better choice.

Great work with this Gnome2 fork. It is just great.
