I fully second that.

On the one hand I hate it when NM is breaking good old features
(sometimes gratuitously). On the other hand the energy with which NM
tries to automagically keep you on-line at all times is truly impressive
and something that was very badly missing from the Linux desktop.

I will keep constantly looking for the single and ideal tool that
combines the best of the "old" and "new" worlds. Even if it does not end
up being NM, at least it showed some skill.
