TBH the "interfaces nicely with the clickable frontends" part is
what I meant here. I don't know if anyone likes nm-cli. When I use
NetworkManager on a desktop or laptop, then it is through one of the
GUI frontends. I assume this is what people want.

Very good question.

As far as I understood Lukas' mail, then at least currently not, as
NM in Debian doesn't come with patches to support two-way
configuration with netplan. I would understand if the NetworkManager
maintainers in Debian don't want to apply them as a Debian patch;
without having looked at the patches, the whole objective sounds
like the patches would be quite intrusive.

As pointed out by Simon, this is already done depending on the
desktop selection. Which I didn't know, but sounds like the sane
thing to do!
