Just a quick "okay, but...". 

I have to fully agree with other user's opinions in this regard.

Is not that users are opposing to any change regardless the benefits it 
can provide but NM has been -during many time (years?)- buggy and  
experienced an erratic behaviour and networking is a key piece of every  
desktop (no need to mention servers).

So when users are seeing that their network settings are not applied or 
that they are deleted or overriden, or DHCP is not working well or... is 
when they complain :-)

Today we can say we have a quite good NM service but we've been wandering 
in a dark age not so long ago.
