'Not embracing' and 'being actively antagonistic to any change' are too
different things. The Luddite is antagonistic to any change; one who is
just cautious is careful what one embraces. The tiller versus steering
wheel analogy was a bit of hyperbole, and was meant to be. The reality
check is that things are moving on, and if one wants one's skills to
stay current one must learn those skills, even if one doesn't embrace
the changes that require those new skills. That's the middle ground; not
actively for or against, just staying up to date on the state of the
art. And I'm neither rabidly for NM, nor am I rabidly against NM, but
since it's there I'm going to take the time to learn why it's there and
see if I can use it in those cases where it makes sense to use it, just
like any other technology I'm considering.

Are you sure you will never have need for NM?

Totally static desktops, no.
