Is Mint still popular? I've heard it's fallen behind developmentally compared to newer distros.

Yeah it's slow and steady, with a strong emphasis on the slow part.
I think it's still popular for newbies because it's simple and stable with a pretty familiar Windows-esque feel, which is its strength, but it's also pretty far behind in some respects. But I haven't looked at the stats for who is using what so idk.
Edit: Don't let this scare you off if you're reading this and you're thinking about trying Linux or Mint - this is inside baseball. It's fine, just give it a go.
