I mostly agree with you, I also love to have everything in it's place, but
there is people (specially those who come from the windows world) that are
used to have all embedded in the file manager, and do not know absolutely
nothing about applets nor notification areas, and would just get stumped
with something as easy as connecting to internet. It just was a weird idea
to lower a bit more the barrier for the novice user... :-)

I'd tend more to make an applet, but that's not as intuitive
