MATE reflects GNOME 2 UI perfectly because it *is* GNOME 2. You are grasping at straws so badly.

MATE is *not* GNOME 2. The code is forked from GNOME 2, but the user experience is quite different, because:
a) You have to recreate all your settings (they had to rename the gconf keys)
b) You have to relearn what application names correspond to what applications, because they had to change all of them.
It is definitely not a smooth replacement. Particularly not with those users less capable of helping themselves.
