Yeah, I'm necro'ing a thread, but so what.
If the build-chain is there, you should be able to compile whatever DE you want.
I would expect something lightweight and with low dependencies as a default, but I'm pretty flexible.
Compiling GNOME, of any stripe, has always been a nightmare. I doubt Gnome3 is any better than previous versions of Gnome. With Gnome3 and KDE5 becoming more and more reliant on SystemD internals, I'd be fine with neither being supported, but I'm probably a major outlier.

I'm hoping for a complete drop-in replacement of linux mint debian edition Mate version, but based on devuan without any systemd shit. That's my dream. With some kind of better RDP/VNC capability baked in, since the hacky ones I've used to make that work in LMDE are not that great.
