Didn't MATE development stopped or something? Ubuntu Cinnamon looks more interesting at this point.

Honestly don't really see the point in using Ubuntu and most things that are Ubuntu related Unless you simply don't have the time to fine tune a better and lighter Linux distribution. many Linux distributions let you fine tune your system fully, meaning that if there's anything you don't like you can always change it , or make a tool/fix for it yourself. Obviously, like i said before, Ubuntu and related software is useful if you don't have the time or want to setup something better and just want something that always "just works", But if you do have the time and the desire to have a lighter system or server i honestly don't see why you'd go for Ubuntu.
