Such figures are meaningless today.

A default desktop install of Jessie will bring in Gnome and as a result
will also bring in systemd ... therefore the popcorn figures do not
reflect *real* popularity, rather it reflects Gnome installations [mostly].

You want Gnome, you make an *involuntary* /choice/ for systemd,
regardless of you probably not wanting or even knowing that you get
systemd as part of the deal at first glance and without thinking more
about what is offered.

It wouldn't surprise me to see many people simply just trying out Gnome,
only because it will be the default desktop, again systemd just coming
along for the ride.
