Cons
Con May not work with newer packages from Ubuntu
LMDE is Debian based and while Ubuntu is also Debian based, Ubuntu uses newer packages than the version LMDE is based on, which can lead to some Ubuntu apps not being able to be installed.
Con Based on an old distro
DouDou Linux is based on Debian 5, which is pretty old. So this means the software found in the distribution will be old. This also means the hardware support will be lacking compared to newer based distros. So for those that do want to install it would be a good idea to make sure the hardware is supported by Debian 5 and DouDou Linux.
