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 have no idea how I will be able to survive not having USB 3.0 hot plugging on my DNS server, or without embedding init into a desktop environment you couldn't pay me enough to use...
But just thing of all the vulnerabilities and forced marches that you'll miss out on.
