If I install CentOS-7 on a desktop, I use gui things. If I install CentOS-7 on a server, I never install gui things (unless I am doing for someone who specifically asks for that). nmcli allows you to do anything you would do in a NM GUI. But the real bottom line is .. this is not the place where any of that could be changed anyway. CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL source code .. if RHEL does it, so do we. The other thing is .. CentOS-6 has security support until 30 Nov 2020, so no one has to upgrade to CentOS-7 or systemd for 3.75 more years. If you like the older things, use CentOS-6. If you want the new things, use CentOS-7.
