My biggest gripe was finding Ubuntu sluggish and heavy compared to Mint. However, that imbalance improved over time. Currently I'm running 13.04 Lubuntu, Voyager Xfce and Ubuntu Gnome. A few days ago I was using the main edition of 13.04. In all cases, it is very snappy, so no complaints. I actually arrange the desktop in the same way every time, in every distro, to look the way I like it and I install the applications that I regularly use, if they're not already there, and a couple of docks. As long as the back end is doing its work steady and fast, so I can do mine steady and fast at the front, I'm happy.
