MATE from upstream does conflict with other software. This isn't good, it's the most worse I can imagine and likely the reason that distros aren't interested to add it to official repositories. MATE is the only software I know available for Linux, that does conflict with common software. Could you give a few examples? I installed Wheezy without DE and then MATE from "deb http://repo.mate-desktop.org/debian wheezy main" No problems/conflicts so far (well, none due to MATE). The DE that is the closest to GNOME 2, regarding to all aspects, work-flow, "interaction" with other software, stability, needed resources, IMO is Xfce 4 I just can't get over the fact that I can't drag things from applications menu to quick launch panel. It's painful :(
