Still on Mint. Tried catchy recently when I nuked my Mint install. (I told myself I'd never remember to remove kisak-mesa before updating the kernal, and yup).
Was only on catchy for half a day, but did really like it. KDE and some of the preinstalled tools were nicer than Mint. Only issue is I could only access my old NTFS windows drives as read only. In the process of getting more storage so I can backup and format everything as ext4, and might try catchy again. But Mint has been treating me well, and has no issues handling the windows drives.
I think it's important to recognize that if something is working well for yourself you don't really need to change it
this might be something you're doing already but you can use VMs to try distros before fully committing
