I have been using (and am still using Mate) for a few years now. As far as I can see, the desktop environment works almost perfectly. The only issue I'm aware of is with mate-terminal: for some reason it decides to not respect the locale set in the environment and use some sort of US-ASCII encoding. People have been reporting the same sort of problem with Linux-based operating systems though so this is not DragonFly-specific. -- Francois Tigeot
