Yes, it has been easier in general to move out of the way than some of the other desktop junk. Some of the automated editing of config files was annoying but at least how to kick it off an interface was easy to find and no other applications were so tangled up with it that they got cranky without it running, unlike avahi which always causes error message spew everywhere when it is down and over the years has been a game of whack-a-mole to keep it killed what with all the different ways it got started.
In general other than the smurfword name and the fact that I'm always elbow deep in network stuff and cannot have it interfering I think it's been a net positive to have around.
I wonder if it will make a push towards becoming an 11u cred manager. We do need a good UI for that if the rank and file users are ever to use 11u for something other than letting providers find ways to monetize their use of hotspots.
