Though, if someone had come by and made a new CLI tool for managing 
networks a few years ago, would people really decide to switch their CLI 
tool because of it?  Would it have gotten the development and user 
community behind it to support its development?  My guess is probably 
not, especially given there were several CLI tools that attempted to do 
the automation back when NM first came out.  People are picky about 
their command line tools.  What happened happened, and probably couldn't 
have happened any other way.
