No DE is awful. I use most of them, they each have their good and bad
points.
Attacking another DE is similar to attacking systemd or suggesting Debian
is on its last legs.
It is an opinion, everyone has a right to their opinions, but no one else
should feel as though they are using something that is inadequate just
because, as individuals, we don't like something.
No, I cannot accept this. I am partially sighted. That is my perspective.
Yes, MATE on Mint is awful. For me. I did make that clear. One man's meat
is another man's poison. And I can give rational reasons for feeling that.
But that doesn't mean that there are not those who love it. In fact, I know
that there are, and I have no problem with that. I have never said that it
should not exist or that this distro or that distro should not use it. Or
that those who use it are inferior. In fact, some might say that they are
superior because they clearly have better eyesight. ;-) Merely that I find
it awful. And that in a discussion on another list we could not hink of
another DE which is as configurable, and therefore as suitable for those of
us with less than 20:20 vision, as TDE.
