Was just on Mint for about 6 months. I switched back because Mint does not really allow you to upgrade your distribution -- rather they recommend backing up and reinstalling from scratch.
I did read a wiki article outlining an upgrade (they even pointed out there it is not recommended to do it this way). Basically, change your apt source list, and dist-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade. I chose the latter and was presented with a completely borked gnome.
That is my silver bullet, the nail in the coffin. For this reason alone, I will stay away.
