Are there any must have plugins or programs for improving MATE?

You don't even have to fuck with config files to achieve that. Literally just right click on shit and and start fucking with options.

Before you worry about your DE you need to fix your browser. Your Firefox setup is a mess.
1) There is an extension called Htitle that will clean up that useless ugly title bar.
2) It appears that you don't realize that you can move all of that clutter like the extension icons and the search bar bullshit out of your way. Click the hamburger menu and click customize at the bottom and start dragging shit around.
3)
>menu bar
Seriously wtf are you thinking? The title bar and menu bar are an eyesore and useless waste of space.
4) You're not using 4chanX? I guess you don't like image expand on hover and dozens of other amazing features.

As for the DE, you could set up Budgie similar to your DE and it would probably be nicer.
