Debian Jesse is going to have Gnome3 as the default desktop.

The desktop re-qualification page, used to help choose which desktop will be default, has in the Jesse version a weight for systemd integration, and of course only Gnome3 does it (at least for now). This will surely make the systemd/gnome3 fanbase happy, but possibly will make others unhappy, as it [may] be seen as another step towards mono-culture, until we soon end up with all distros being redhat clones.

    Things that are easy to do on a desktop but noticeably harder/impossible on a tablet:
      - Precision clicking with a mouse
      - Choice of operating system installation
      - Replacement of hardware components
      - Being able to point at the screen without magical things happening

    Oh btw, Broadcom and NVidia sucks.
