Just read through this post. A lot of it was about Mint colors. I thought that it was trivial and nitpicking. That wasn't useful information about what is what don't like about LM Mint. Just a whole lot dislikes. Not very constructive.
Personally I don't care about what the color of a logo or the website home page is. If you wish to choose a distro by the its color, go for it. LM Mint is my choice because it works!
There were comments about poor documentation. I agree completely. My first install was with accepting all the recommended choices. Just one partition for everything.
After using LM for a while and perusing LM forums, I learned that it was advantageous to have separate root, file, home and data partitions.
There are no directions in LM manuals on how to change your partition scheme once you did a basic install. I tried it and it was a disaster.

The current way to find the LM guide is rather difficult. It is buried in LM Home>Download>Documentation>Installation Guide,and choose a PDF.

It should be the most prominent button on the Home Page. Also link to a page that lists minimum hardware requirements and the install guide. Also a link to a how to page to burn an ISO to a USB or CD/DVD.
What I'd like like to see in the LM manual is when you are doing a fresh install is when you check for something else button a guide for setting up your desired partition scheme. It took me a while to figure how to do it. It was kind of scary, gparted isn't for the faint of heart.
The best tutorial I found for this is
