Has Ubuntu lost it?

I've been enjoying Linux Mint for the past year, which for me comes configured almost exactly the way I want it out of the box, and I don't feel limited by the choice and configurability it offers.

I like Mint a lot, but I liked it more before going through the upgrade process.

yeah, that's the problem of mint. They don't support dist-upgrade so, when they release a new version, you are supposed to reinstall the full os or try yourself a dist-upgrade changing manually all the repos and being careful with confilcts (and there will be often).

In my opinion that is a nonsense

I agree. Using their Debian testing based rolling release could fix that, for the price of losing Ubuntu-compatibility...
