Yes, true that there are some things that still need polishing in Mate accessibility, but I certainly do not 
find any of 
the issues I've encountered anything close to show stoppers, and if you prefer a more traditional desktop 
Mate is 
certainly the best option as far as accessiblity goes, and a very good option for many in general. 
As I've mentioned in other posts it is also an option worth considering if your system is a bit slow with 
gnome3, but as 
I've also mentioned before I think, I'm impressed with what gnome can do on my less than blazing netbook. It 
seems to 
adapt as well as possible to having relatively limited system resources, at least as long as one does not 
multitask more 
than a bare minimum.
