Perhaps I am an exception, but I usually have at least two DEs installed; right now, I have three: KDE, Unity, and Gnome. Neither gdm3 nor sdm allow me to select which of the three DEs I want to start the session under, but instead default to the last one selected. On the other hand, a common drawback on all three DMs is the inability to consider left-handed persons (where, usually, the primary mouse|touchpad button is the right one). That sucks for all three.
