MATE is a fork of Gnome 2. Not everyone likes Gnome 3 and newer versions.

  Gnome 2 is just a windows 95 clone with Gimmics. Only from gnome shell on to gnome 3 the whole concept was brought to a new level. However I understand if people don't like that, it's new and maybe won't last it sure is easier to stick to a taskbar, etc when you are used to it.

    That's exactly what I like about it. Windows 3.x was terrible. Win95 looked pretty but was a garbage os. But windows NT with the win95 UI on it finally convinced me to ditch my Amiga (although I was VERY tempted by NeXT). And honestly, I haven't seen any UI enhancements since then that are useful to me.

  But does that mean they will be stuck forever to an ancient GTK version ?

    It has supported GTK3+ for years now. I'm not familiar with the specifics, but GTK3/4 applications run fine.
