Re: Not at any price.

Distrowatch measures a distro's page hits on the website, not how successful a distro is. Mint is not by any means "way ahead of Ubuntu", and is still heavily dependent on Ubuntu as a base. So if you wouldn't go anywhere near Ubuntu, by extension, you shouldn't even be using Mint... The code is open to look at, there is nothing malicious about the Unity shopping lens, and it can be disabled in 2 clicks. It will even be disabled by default in Unity 8. Get over it already.
