Contrary to what other commenters are saying, I've been using NetworkManager on my ArchLinux Thinkpads for years and it works great. (And I don't even have a desktop environment, I have DWM, so I am usually a "do it yourself" person.)
Whereas I could never get all the mess working to get things working well without NetworkManager.
My experience is, spend hours messing with configuration shit or just let NetworkManager do all that automatically for you, which in my case, it does well.

Not that I don't use wpa_supplicant directly anyway, but when I have used NM, it seems to do the same job.
