                Probably good, having too many desktop options is a distraction. Especially when Mint makes TWO of their own desktops!

                  Why stop there? Cinnamon is their favorite child. Minds well put a 100% of the resources there. Look at how well Elementary OS looks.

                    I agree. I think eliminating all the extra desktops, including MATE, would be smart. Splitting their resources makes no sense when the purpose of their distro is Cinnamon.

                        I've never understood why they put so much effort into making their own desktop, then make a crappy fall back sort of clone of that desktop, then make some themes for other desktops. Too much weird stuff. If you are using Mint for something other than Cinnamon, why are you using Mint?

                          Cause we like the way they make MATE look?

                                  I heard it was because they had Edge locked down, but who knows.
