How many others here have experiences like Chris'?
Well, this jessie-with-systemd system I'm using used to be a wheezy
system. I changed my sources.list and upgraded things, and it all just
*worked*. Couple of minor issues (the behaviour of something in
xfce4-panel changed, so I had to add a "separator" element to get the
clock and the systray and the workspace selector to continue appearing
at the right-hand end where they belong instead of bouncing back and
forth as I open and close windows), but pretty much painless.
The only material hassle I've had with this Debian installation is
entirely a result of using a closed graphics driver (because the libre
driver for my hardware renders my video games incorrectly and at an
unacceptable frame rate) whose upstream was slow to update for
compatibility with the latest xorg; I am declaring that to be Not
Debian's Fault.
As another example, the multi-user system run by an acquaintance from
university on which I have a shell account has been upgraded *many* times.
