[CentOS] Is there any benefit to using NetworkManager on a server with a static IP?

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to get a simple two NIC
bond to work. Got really odd behavior from service network restart, then
finally decided to disable NetworkManager. Voila! Bonding and the network
service script starts working just the way I expect.

Does anyone here actually use NetworkManager on anything but a laptop or
desktop? I can't seem to figure out a reason to use it on a server.
