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was, for a while, the default for Wheezy, but has been replaced
by XFCE because GNOME 3 will not fit on the first CD image.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.
