2. Have any other disenchanted Ubuntu users settled on an alternative system that suits them?
On computers that I've set up for other people, I've started using XFCE (i.e. Xubuntu), rather than a Unity or Gnome-based system. I haven't tried Mint yet.
And for my own everyday machine, I've taken the more radical step of switching to Arch Linux (with XFCE). Arch is like Gentoo but without all the compiling: it's very cutting edge (currently using a 3.2.11 kernel) but on the other hand I've found it to be very stable, with the latest versions of everything. Compared with Ubuntu, you have to do a lot of configuring yourself, but the wiki is full of excellent documentation.
