Mint has prided itself on taking the Ubuntu refugees by rejecting Unity in favor of MATE/Cinnamon and recently saying they are staying with X around the Mir announcement.

Mint 9 was my first time trying out GNU/Linux and it had its benefits at the time. I never did like their custom update manager as it would exclude kernel updates and wasn't built to allow distribution updates. They said it was for safety, but the Ubuntu update manager was better implemented.
