Has anybody tried Cylon Linux?

Hi Guys! I wanted to get your take on this Ubuntu Based Distribution called Cylon Linux. It looks pretty cool. I think I am still going to stay with Linux Mint because of a larger community, and the continued development on Cinnamon, and Nemo. However, this Distribution is pretty compelling..

What do you guys think?

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Desktop Environment : Gnome Classic (also contains Unity & Gnome Shell)

And way too much bloatware for me. The list of apps is way too much to keep track of and has 5 browsers installed!
My system would always be updating with that many apps installed. Nice it's based on more stable 12.04 tho.

Not for me as what minimal packages installed and even Mint has a few I don't need or want.
And I can install what I need and nothing else.
As the more you install and don't use the more clutter and system needing to hookup with the repo's for more frequently updating required.

I do use 2-3 application for one task but having 5 browsers are too much even for me. Especially when my favourite ones are not included... I would also need to add MATE or XFCE. So there is no gain for me installing Cylon.
