Without wanting to sound too pushy, I'm wondering if there is any update on the
status of Mate now that Centos 8 has been released?
I would love to jump on C8 and start playing with it, but the lack of Mate is
kind of a showstopper for me at the moment.
Is gnome3 really that bad :D
Yes, it is.
My main reason is this (it has to do with me starting with Windows 3.1
and those functionalities are in Windows even today I have to use and
support at work):
1. All tray icons are visible so I can see if message or mail
comes without need to move more then eyeball.
2. I can put icon on a desktop, document or link to app.
3. I can easily see all open apps and swith to them using mouse
4. I can put links to panel in top/bottom of the screen, visible and
easily accessible.
5. I want easily visible and accessible multiple workspaces I can switch
to. I like separate opened apps several per workspace custered for a
specifig (simultanious) job/task, Firefox in one Krusader in another, VM
i third, something else in forth...Then I can switch between apps IN
THAT workspace, I do not have to choose from dozes of windows (like with
Alt+Tab)
And last but not least: I got used to some way of interaction with
computer, and that way is most productive for me after very long use. I
don't want to blend in iPad generation, I want to stay productive which
I am. So, I use Mutt (on FreeBSD, which my workstation runs, it is so
easy and straightforward to install and maintain Mutt).
Just my $0.02.

If Gnome 3 (Classic) can be configured to do such things in one go
(chosing a theme "Gnome 2") I would switch to it.
I decided to just bite the bullet and shift to real gnome3 (and not the
classic) about 4 years ago. It waas different and took some time to
learn .. BUT .. I can do everything I need to do now.
I like both mate and cinnamon .. so I am not knocking either one. I just
think people might be well server switching to a 'supported' desktop in
the longer run.
Again .. don't get me wrong .. it's open source, so do what makes you
happy :D
