It's a fun little program, albeit one limited in functionality as it stands. If you're looking to add a playful bit of colour to your desktop, you can do much worse than this.

That said, while it's business model will undoubtedly generate a good chunk of revenue, it will always come up short compared to user made content a platform like Wallpaper Engine offers. Since Desktop Mate has nothing to gain by offering workshop support instead of DLC, I fully expect a pay-once moddable platform to appear if DM proves there's interest in the desktop mascot again. Now that I'd REALLY be interested in.

As it stands, it's basic, but functional. I'll personally be waiting for the competitor with workshop support to come out if Desktop Mate proves there's a market for this kind of thing.
