I would also like to say that I wish MATE were available by default in the Ubuntu repos. I hate GNOME 3. I hate Unity. GNOME-shell is a poor substitute for MATE. Both prioritize simplistic "user friendliness," as if that were a unitary concept, over the ability for people who understand how to perform complex tasks to get work done.

I already know how to use MATE because I've been using MacOS, Windows, and GNOME 2 for twenty years. Please include this in the Ubuntu repos. It's a meaningful alternative to what's being forced on users as a default.
