Mint is just more "ready to use" than Ubuntu, in my opinion. That's why I recommend it to beginners. Mint also has a bit of a performance advantage on older hardware than Ubuntu (also my opinion). Proprietary media codecs come pre-loaded on Mint, so users don't have to find the right codecs to play their media. Not that it's impossible to install them in Ubuntu, or anything, but it's one less thing (or 12) to worry about. I also think Mint's Software Manager is a bit snappier and more streamlined than Ubuntu's.
