Although it might be nice if it was mentioned in the documentation
somewhere and it took a little looking to find for me to (after
NetworkManagerInfo disappeared)

I've really happy with how NetworkManager is working, and how well it
works.  My only complaint is that it prompts me for my keychain password
when connecting to wireless routers that don't need a password, so I
have to type my password in regardless (and each time it starts now
because I did connect to a wireless router with WEP and used the
keychain to store it).  See bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312128

Well done Dan.
