It's the most intuitive distro I've used to date. It's easy to install, has a clean intuitive interface and either comes with most everything you need loaded or has it readily installable. If you can run Windows7, you should be able to run this. It's like they actually set out to make an easy to use distro.... I know right?
I've always used MATE desktop, but if you want more shiny things, don't be afraid to give the Cinnamon version a try.
