Mint? Really?

Linux Mint is positively terrible. It's as if a bunch of Windows modifiers decided to get together and make Linux feel more like Windows by removing all the integration and smoothness.

Do you have any specific examples? Mint is currently my favorite desktop distro for a number of reasons, primarily related to how well integrated and smooth it is to use. It comes with excellent defaults, a good theme, easily the best 'start' menu I've seen and is all round a pleasure to use. So far I haven't found any major complaints (or at least no more than in any other distro, or OS), I'm wondering what yours are
