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.

I like having the option, though. My primary non-gaming computer is a Lenovo Yoga11s dual-booting into Windows 8 and Debian. It has a touch screen, and the screen can flip completely around the back and it becomes a tablet. I like the fact that if I decide to read a long article I can just flip it into tablet mode, sit back and scroll with my finger, or pinch to zoom in. Of course that only works in windows, and I hardly ever boot into windows. It's handy, but only as an optional thing. If you were required to scroll with the touchscreen instead of the trackpad, that would be awful. But having the extra ability is nice.
Okay 3, 2, 1, let's jam.
