I am with the other Mark on this - I like the ability to choose a basic, yet 
well featured, desktop - be that Gnome or KDE or whatever, which comes on one 
single cd, yet offers me the opportunity to add extra software - including 
other desktops should I desire.
As Mark said, adding whatever other desktop you need is as easy as clicking on 
the relevant package in Synaptic or Adept or using apt-get. Much more 
sensible than packaging all the desktops in one huge DVD or multiple cd 
offering.
