Yes, as time goes on, I'm more of an end-user than an under-the-hood
tinkerer, and looking for a stable platform for my apps that isn't too
dated that it won't run them at all, but not so bleeding edge that it
just feels like glitz and eye-candy and a brooding cauldron of instability.
So when Peter announces that mnemosyne 2 is on its way (see what I did
there :-) ), I'm in no rush for the alpha, or the first beta, and will
just wait until it appears in the Mint repos and everyone else has found
all the bugs :). Linux Mint 'feels' about right for me. Not too showy or
bleeding edge and it doesn't try to impress me too much.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm always interested to know what different distros
are like but I don't have the time or the patience to try them out
myself!

Out of interest and completely off topic, why did you switch from
ubuntu to mint?
well as it's off-topic I'll keep it brief.
Ubuntu is fine and mint is based on Ubuntu anyway. But Ubuntu is getting
glitzier and snazzier all the time and I don't like the new default
'Unity' desktop. Mint is a bit cleaner, simpler and more elegant to me.
But it's largely subjective. Just as I prefer Linux to Microsoft doesn't
mean I'm anti-microsoft, I just don't care for it very much, and I've
never worried overly about rationalising why. I prefer the command-line
over windows, and short-cuts to mouse-clicks. I will probably, at some
point, go back to a simple stable Debian based install.
