People who like Gnome2 might want to try MATE, Mint's fork of Gnome2. People who liked Ubuntu when it was pretty much just Debian with a simpler installer and better defaults for a desktop might want to try Mint Debian Edition.

Agreed, Mint mostly has all the benefits that Ubuntu has to offer over Debian, while removing the drawbacks introduced as of late. I still prefer straight Debian on servers, but out-of-the-box Mint makes for an excellent desktop or HTPC.
