If you look at
www.ohloh.com below MATE is a "very active"
project with
over 2 million lines of code, 64 contributors and the last commit was
made 4 days ago. GNOME 2 is alive and thriving and evolving with a
large user-base among the top distributions Arch Linux, Linux Mint,
Debian, Ubuntu 14.04, OpenSUSE and many others including Fedora. Compare
this to GNOME Shell which has only around 81K lines of code, twice as
many contributors at 157 and the last commit was 2 days ago.

How about comparing 'caja' to all of KDE? GNOME is more than GNOME
Shell, and MATE forked more than just the parts GNOME Shell is
replacing ...
