It’s a pity MATE is still quite immature, as GNOME 3 even with the Mint Gnome Shell Extensions doesn’t work for me on my dual monitor rig. The fact that one cannot remove or move the top panel, and the fact that the virtual desktops are not static really work against my needs. GNOME 2.x plus Compiz was as close to perfection as it got. I’m hoping MATE will mature quickly and allow me to have the desktop configuration I need.
Fortunately I can wait a little longer as Isadora hasn’t reached EOL yet.
