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.

What you describe is true. But I think it's a symptom of the real problem: hipsters.
All of these awful designs have one thing in common: hipsters are responsible for them.
A central tenet of the hipster philosophy is that the hipster is always right, and unwilling to compromise or even consider the thoughts and opinions of others. They refuse to listen to user feedback.
Another central tenet of the hipster philosophy is to be different for no good reason at all.
As long as hipsters are working on these UIs, the UIs will be terrible. Their basic philosophy guarantees it.
