Looking at the screenshots on the Mate website it doesn't look
anything like Gnome Shell, so I am not sure I see why Ubuntu going to
that has any relevance to the future of Mate. Gnome Shell is much like
Unity. I switched my wife over from Unity to Gnome Shell and she
barely noticed the difference.
