I should not post when half asleep.
I have been using MATE since it was first offered as a choice on the 
Select and Install menu. I skipped whatever release that had Gnome3 
instead of Gnome2. I have always aimed at a somewhat minimalist install 
and the presence of LibreOffice and Firefox on the default menu has been 
annoying. Neither offers any features I find desirable. I've done 
multiple web searches for how to tweak the Applications menu [MATE's 
help system being its major weak point].
