The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

I thought Debian addresses most of your complaints. And LMDE is a good option for people that want a different flavor of it.

I'm using regular Mint, but plan of switching to LMDE in the future, when it's no longer an experimental option. Their Cinnamon desktop is very polished, accessible and sensible. I was surprised I didn't need to configure and hardware - wifi, Webcam, Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and headset... It was all detected and configured properly. I chose Btrfs and the installer set up a subvolume for /home and sensible backup policies.
