Linux Mint is very simple to use these days.
Ubuntu is even easier. If we're trying to convert windows users on ease we really should be sending them the beginners kit
Mint is Ubuntu, minus controversial Canonical stuff, plus an extra layer of polish and a very nice DE that is Windows-like out of the box.
Controversial stuff and polish are fundamentally changes that make it that much harder to Google an error message and look at step by step fixes which is what most end users will need.
All mint adds for people who won't bother to learn the differences (most people) is confusion
That depends entirely on what you're trying to do.
Most things work without hiccups.
Once again, that's fine so long as you don't need the things that don't work.
