Sometimes I feel a little bit for not giving Gnome 3 a fair chance, but I just never got into it. GNOME 2 was, to me, the peak of Unix desktop environments, and I was rather sad when the devs moved on to GNOME 3. Then I discovered MATE and was very happy because a) it showed me I was not the only one to feel that way about GNOME 2 and 3 respectively, and b) I could retain the comfort of GNOME 2. I couldn't really tell if GNOME 3 is good or not, because I have not spent enough time to figure it out. Maybe I will one day, but I'm perfectly happy with MATE, so unless something changes drastically, I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future.
