Last time I installed Debian it gave me a list of DEs and I could pick as many as I wanted to, no default. Did something change?

If you don't choose a specific DE (which is the default setting), it installs GNOME.

I'm quite sure the last time I installed Debian, a year or two ago, I didn't choose a DE so it installed no DE at all.

Are you people talking about installing from a GNOME-based live image or something? I think most people use the netinstall image, which uses no DE and, I'm about 90% sure, has no graphical environment selected by default.

Check again. That list of DEs comes with GNOME checked by default.

which one would be selected if you didn't make a choice. I don't use debian, but I thought the answer was GNOME.

IIRC, if you don't choose one, no DE is installed at all.
