But what I meant is that compared to regular Debian or Ubuntu, Mint is relatively new and has a much smaller user base. You don't want to be a pioneer (very few people do, especially when it comes to Linux!), so why choose something new?
For example, one of the things I like better about Debian compared to Ubuntu is that Debian takes a much slower, measured approach to updating packages. This means that you don't have the latest and greatest, but what you have works, and will continue working. Upgrades tend to have fewer surprises. An old forum regular used to have a good rule of thumb for choosing Linux distros.
