Actually, I have completely missed it! (I knew of the new version
being released a few days ago)

However, what I mean is that TDE "is unlikely ever to rival KDE4" and
chanches are that it'll be the same for Mate rivaling Gnome 3 (at
least, IMHO).
I know that if TDE is still active, then there must be a user-base,
but I was trying to say that this user-base is really small in
comparison to KDE 4 user-base.

I didn't explain it well: I didn't want to criticize anyone. To me,
everyone is free to use what it works for him. I was just conjecturing
on the possible future of Mate based on prior forks, i.e.: to make it
short, I wouldn't count on it. Anyway I'm not nor gnome 3 nor kde 4
enthusiast :)
