It boils down to something like this:
network manager is integrated into lots of applications. does wicd work
with them? does it break them or 'just' not provide extra features? I'm
 /not/ qualified to make the call about nm/wicd. I've used neither
recently, and I don't experience the use cases that make the differences
relevant.
I need feedback from a dozen people (5 would do, but a dozen
would be better. More is better.) saying how their daily work does or
does not improve using one over the other
