I use Mint.com daily, mainly as a way to categorize spending. I haven't dove into the other tools yet (budgeting, etc.) and I ignore any offers they have given me, but it is a great tool to easily see where your money goes. I had some problems early on with duplicated transactions, but after reporting it, they fixed it within a month or two.
If you need a basic personal finance expense/income tracking tool, this free one is tough to beat.
I like mint.com because I can look at all my accounts, including transactions, from a single place, much like a hub.
Most of their offers are based on their not knowing the interest I actually don't pay (since I carry no balances) on credit cards or checking or savings interest.
Other than that, it works pretty well.
I think it's be useful to have a single place to check all of one's finances, but what worries me with services like mint.com is the security aspect. If one's account is hacked, then the hacker gets access to all of the financial information in one place.
