I like LM too. I used 9 and 10, but I got fed up with having to reinstall my system every 6 months in order to get newer software (I dislike the fixed release cycle in general). I wanted to have more control, up to date software and know what made my OS tick, so I went the Arch Way. The only way to have more control is Gentoo (Maybe I'll try this later) or building everything yourself. Linux Mint is nice, especially if you are coming from Windows or want Linux that just works. And no forced GNOME 3 is also nice.
