Connman seriously lacks the interface for dealing with 3g modems that network manager provides - in fact nothing else I've used comes close (work wifi+wired+wired). Same can be said for dropbox, it does a good job.
I'd just like to throw it out there that I never said the systray protocol was good. This is however besides the point because the systray is very much necessary for *many* things to function. E is a great desktop, but it needs to play nice with normal Linux applications and having a functioning systray is needed for this. If Gnome, KDE, LXDE, and even Unity can manage to piece together a functional one there is no reason the same can't be done with Enlightenment (the best desktop around). I guess I'll be happy it works at all then for the time being and add it to the list of things my team and I are going to work on this summer.
