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'm doing something wrong? Well, you know what, perhaps you're right.
But that doesn't really excuse the mess - rather it reinforces the fact that it is a mess. Never before in my experience has the choice of init system had such a nasty impact on, well, everything else. If systemd truly was a choice in Debian at this point, I wouldn't be bitching about having to hold packages and mess with configuration settings I've never had to muck around with before. Sure, I'm running Jessie, so I shouldn't expect everything to be smooth sailing, but at the end of the day I'm coming away with the feeling that Debian is no longer a good choice of distro for me, as a user and developer.
