I figured I'd share my experience since I'm a long time Gnome user,and don't particularly like Gnome 3 or the other desktop environments (with the exception of XFCE being second favorite).
Mate Desktop is actually a fork of Gnome, and it works perfectly with XRDP! The other desktop environments (Unity, Gnome, etc,.) don't work at all with XRDP on Debian 7 / Ubuntu 14.04, and I need XRDP. Remote desktop users will find a familiar home with the Mate Desktop Environment.
I'm linking to screenshot of my desktop, it's got all of Gnome's features, without the bloat that came with the original full install of Gnome 2. It's bare bones (Just the essentials) and you install only what you need after that. No games, no widgets, no nonsense. Fully extendable and incredibly customizable.
Mate Desktop Environment is a winner in my book!
