Does anyone use MATE (Gnome 2 fork)?

[Roman Ovseitsev]

I've been using it for the last seven months on Fedora and did a few
patches for it as well.
Stability wise, there shouldn't be any significant problems.
At the moment there is a small number of negligible bugs and one, long
standing, major issue which may or may not affect you (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886029)

Development wise, there is only a handful of active developers working on
it so some things take a while to be fixed. Also I was a bit surprised to
see the overly enthusiastic road-map for the next minor version, but who
knows...
