I sort of abandoned GNOME when version 3 came out.
I stayed with version 2 until MATE was released.
Is there anything I should be watching out for?
IOW I act as if MATE is Gnome done "right" ;/ [Owl ducks fer cover]
This is similar to my own experience: when debian bumped Gnome from 2 to
3 the display on my old and clanky computer went black, because the
hardware wasn't up to the demands Gnome 3 put on it.
So I threw out gnome and installed an old plain window manager (can't
remember which one) and later discovered MATE and that's where I have
stayed.
