Apart from not having GNOME Classic, I note that Debian 8, as with
Debian 7, appears to be missing iceape.

I do not remember how, but, from memory, I have iceape installed on
Debian 7 on the Acer V3-772G, bit it is now, apparently, not available
for installation on Debian 7, on the Acer E5-521-238Q.

So, without GNOME Classic (or GNOME2, which would be better), and,
without iceape, I have no inclination to install Debian 8.
