You're not missing out on too much from MATE. If anything, I found that Cinnamon had more features.
A few reasons I use MATE, though:
- Freely placeable panel buttons
- Proxy settings has "Manual" option, so I can use Tor as a system-wide proxy.
- It doesn't run like ass on my Acer Aspire 5742z, which has 3GB of RAM.
- The apps that make up the MATE desktop (e.g. Pluma, Caja, Engrampa) have all the bells and whistles. This results in a slightly cluttered-looking UI, but I like it.
- It works with Compiz, so I can have my windows wobble when I move them and burst into flames when I close them, if I so wish.
- MATE applications support Wayland, although they're still working on Metacity (the window manager) and a few other components, so it's not quite a Wayland desktop yet.
- It's a classic. I sometimes like to install the old Ambiance and Humanity themes and pretend I'm using Ubuntu in 2009.
Thanks for the thoughtful response ☺️
