These days I don't much care for ubuntu so by extension I don't like mint much, but I think if you like ubuntu you would likely feel the same about mint.
Been thinking about trying Mint as well. I think it's supposed to be Ubuntu, plus a bunch of proprietary media codecs and etc. For looks, I really like Xubuntu at the moment. The default blue & black theme is a lot nicer than Ubuntu's default brown, and XFCE is great for older hardware.
Just noticed this : "Ignored packages: In the preferences, you can define a list of packages for which you do not whish to receive updates. You can also use wildcard characters to define groups of package updates you want to ignore. "
