I hope the follow ups will cover more about the standard set of programs. Im not happy with Gnome 3, but less popular Environments usually have to include alot of GTK/QT/KDE apps for completeness and will look less homogenous than a homepage of a 13 year old which discovered font attributes and LSD at the same time.
I expect the default desktop will be changed. XFCE has problems with tearing on Intel laptop chipsets, and it doesn't look likely that it will be fixed anytime before Wayland becomes standard. I doubt that Debian will want to base a stable release on a desktop that can't even do hidpi or flicker free window drags or video, but you never know.

Network adapter issues with Debian aren't too uncommon during setup, particularly due to the distribution's conservative approach about including binary blob firmwares for the hardware. For those unfamiliar with the Debian firmware state, see the project's Wiki page.
