It's great for people who don't want to take control of the system part but take control of their data. I installed one on my aunt's PC and she's quite happy with it.
I used to had to login via Teamviewer when something goes wrong, or even worse, describe her to login into tty and give commands to fix the situation. She's been using Linux for almost 9 years now and I did that at least 3 times over the phone. Twice it was Ubuntu that got borked after an update and once it was LMDE.
Last time, I installed Aurora and so far it's been fine. It hasn't been long so I cannot compare and say it's better so ask me 2 years later if you remember. :) (do we have a !remindme bot here?)
However I have a feeling that I won't have to deal with such things anymore.
