I think the context here is not so much the physical act of typing or
moving a mouse, it's having network software which is understood, and
which won't mess about with your settings when you're not looking.

I use NM on my netbook, and laptop when booted to Linux, and I find it
useful in dealing with assorted wifi and VPN situations. These days, it
Just Works, at least for me. But I would never allow it onto a server
or even a fixed workstation, nothing must ever change then, and a means
of configuration using a fixed text file cannot be beaten.
