I finally have been able to do things that I had never managed to set up with net-applet: - have a zillion (well, really like 5 or 6) wifi network setups in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and let the daemon pick one without the need to rewrite ifcfg-wlan0 (even automagically) - have a wireless network being started and connected without a user logged in, just at system boot - restart daemons like gmond, that do not play fine on network ups and downs from /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d Setting all those things is easy from the point of view of a cli admin, you can even copy many things from one system to another and have it working. I vote for going to NM, and use a setup tool that writes files into /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection for wired system connections. And I really think that NM plays much nicer with the rest of systemd environment than current scripts. Just my 2 cents...
