Though features are not yet being officially accepted for Fedora 10, there are already plenty of great proposed features. We can only hope they make it into the final release!

I also use mint but the portal is lacking applications such as vmware, parallels, crossover, commercial trials which would be useful to many people.
There needs to be a more commercial side to the software on offer (mainly demos/trials)
The only apps I have used the mint portal to install are skype and google earth, everything else seems to be a no-name gamble to achive what I want
otherwise apt works just as well

Sometimes it's hard to see the benefit of a feature when it's just down in text. I use Mint, and I didn't get the software portal at first, but I find it quite useful. The Mint software portal allows for users to post reviews and rate the software, which can be helpful to people who aren't sure what program they want (i.e, when they're new to Linux and open source software).
Granted, there isn't much benefit for people who know the software they want, but it's a nice feature for new users.
