David has done a little writeup of Mint entitled Choke on a Mint. I think it hits the nail on the head.

Another thing that is really bugging me is the fact that everyone is tripping over their feet to pat him on the back, as though he did something different, or even new. He just added AJAX and a nice set of graphics, which I find both a little slow to load.

Also, I like looking at numbers as much as the next person, but with all of them crammed onto the screen in alternating cell colours, it really does not convey to me what I am looking at. I feel like I am missing something, and the comparisons are just numbers which honestly, over a period of time, lose all meaning. Where are the graphs, and pie charts?

Anyway, at $30 a pop, I think my money is best spent elsewhere. BTW, I believe Shaun Inman is a genius for doing this, he should make a nice chunk of change out of it. I just believe the only reason it’s getting hyped so much is because it looks purdy and because it has his name attached to it. I don’t see it as anything revolutionary like everyone else seems to think it is. Nothing against Shaun of course :P
