>At this point
I haven't used either for a few years. What happened? Or is it just dead?

Nothing, just that you can exactly replicate Mate with XFCE and get even lower resource usage. Nothing much else.

How do you think gnomedevs feel when nobody wants to use their piece of shit gnome 3? Even RHEL users prefer the gnome flashback session

Wait, I just realized that this is MATE's logo. Lmao

I've used it extensively since 2010. It's still under active development. Disagree with a few of their design choices, but nothing like Plasma or Gnome 3+.

What is the problem with modern DE ?

genuine question, whats stopping >us from puting gnome 2 in a modern distro?

Log out and log in with gnome classic bro

Just install mate, it's literally gnome 2. It looks and feels exactly the same and is actively developed.
