While my desktop of choice is currently LXDE, things "connected with freedesktop.org or Gnome" are installed, usually (but not always) because there is no LXDE equivalent of that particular piece (e.g. network-manager-gnome). Having one or another DE installed in parallel was not uncommon for me, even if just to show it of to others. These certainly add complexity, but as far as I'm concerned never did create any major issues with mostly daily updating of sid. In my opinion the one thing that makes running sid a rather painless experience[1] is adopting major changes as they roll in. Sure, those changes bring their own problems with them, but over all it saves a lot of energy to swim with the stream rather than against it. [1] besides *good* familiarity with APT and aptitude.
