As far as I know, both will be shipped, and as for my own opinion, both are needed. Part of the reason for this is that they both deal with the exact same backend; and not all variants of Ubuntu ship the gnome-control-center pieces (I can already think of Xubuntu which is currently not shipping it). Furthermore, not all the settings are covered by both applications. The gnome-control-center stuff includes proxy configuration which is not something available (yet) in nm-connection-editor. This is partly a decision coming from Gnome and a side effect of the move to Gnome Shell, which ships its own module for the network "indicator", while still using some parts of nm-applet. And all this brings me back to the fact that the gnome-control-center module for Network uses dialogs coming from nm-applet, so for now they are not really possible to separate.
