Are there any advantages to using Mint11 over Mint12?

I believe there are advantages to using Mint 12 over Mint 11.

But are there any advantages to using Mint 11 over Mint 12? Or to ask it another way: are there are disadvantages to using Mint 12 over Mint 11?

I'm a katya user, tried Lisa for about 2 weeks but cant get used to it. Lisa's repo was newer than Katya ( I have to use PPA to upgrade Libeoffice, and I hate that).
The best thing about katya is, she's still use gnome2 and because I cant get used to gnome3/cinnamon/mate yet (or other DE like KDE/XFCE), I'll stay with katya..

lahirdenganelamat,
thank for your comment. But according to a moderator here, he posted http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 60#p576660 that you can make Mint12 use the old gnome2 (forked).

I've tried MATE, its gnome2 renamed, but it's not gnome2. I got LMDE installed on my another partition to see if MATE was mature enough, I find it good enough, but not-yet as good as gnome2, so I'll wait for MATE to be more mature .
