GNOME 3 has never been the default desktop for Debian Stable. It was, for a while, the default for Wheezy, but has been replaced by XFCE because GNOME 3 will not fit on the first CD image. You will still be able to install GNOME 3 by either downloading more images or using the standard repositories. GNOME 3 is quite different from the GNOME 2 series, and has made some people correspondingly upset. XFCE is fairly similar to GNOME 2, and may suit those people better. In particular, GNOME 3 really wants 3D accelerated video. XFCE doesn't care much about that. -dsr- -- http://randomstring.org/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.
