As the user of elementary OS, I do have to disagree on the statement that it is as vulnerable as Linux Mint.
* It is based solely on LTS Ubuntu versions since the project started.
* It does not override application names like Linux Mint does.
* It does not try to support a whole bunch of other desktop environments (it is stated in article, but still...)
* Its website is open source.
* It does not rely on things such as phpBB. Its official communities are on Google+ and StackExchange and they use Tumblr for their blog, therefore focusing more on the actual OS and not having to worry about supporting these things.

* They don't delay upgrades in any single way.
