There is no easy wat to connect WiFi.
We need to add some GUI wizard to do this. Like nmtui or wifi-menu. But without depends on NetworkManager or netctl.
I've already testing connman in the same name branch.
It uses wpa_supplicant via dbus to manage wifi connections and sometimes it works strange without clear error messages. It very poor documented, so I need to read source code to understand how it works. I can't found how to disable automatic DHCP client for ethernet without moving it in DefaultAutoConnectTechnologies= list.
In current moment I can't say that connman is much better than wpa_cli. You still need to enable wpa_supplicant even for scanning networks from connman. To connect to encrypted network you need to enable connman's agent manually.

It may be worth replacing NetworkManager with connman?

and compare it with connman steps.
