What's worse is that it's harder than it used to be to change the

shares stuff with Gnome..

If you want to change what display manager is used then just change what
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service points to.

What desktop a display manager starts will be a display manager specific
configuration option.

...but as Rahul said, they all allow you to log in to any desktop. There
seems to be a meme in this thread that GDM does not, but that's not
correct, it does. The choice is not visible unless you actually have
multiple desktops installed, but when you do, it gives you the option.

I know this applies, but installing gnome-shell pulls in gdm.

I.e. removing gdm without removing gnone-shell is not possible.
