IMHO the concept of user-friendliness is overrated and overemphasised. It's a general tendency that people are required to think less and less. An increasing number of things are expected to be spoon-fed to people.
On a separate note, if user-friendliness is defined as the ease of finding your way around something, I'd say that personally I find Slackware more user friendly than Mint - admittedly, it stems from the fact that I have been using Slack for some time.

I totally agree. Coming from Ubuntu to Debian to Slackware (with some distro-hopping in between) I have to say that Slackware is the most friendly distribution for me.
You can have Slackware with user-friendliness: Salix. When you install a program, for example, it works out the dependencies and then gets all the software out of the Slackware repository (unless the program's one of the many Salix additions).
