USC and UbuntuOne are the only programs that rely solely on Network Manager and that's wrong. I don't have to do anything for other programs to use them online.

WvDial connection works for:

Chrome / Chromium
Opera and Opera Next
Konqueror and rekonq
Transmission and qBittorrent
gPodder (Podcast client)
Steam native and Wine
Desura / Desurium native and Wine
Gnome System Monitor (displays all internet related information)
WiMP service like Spotify (it's a program made in Adobe AIR)
Nuvola Player
Thunderbird
JDownloader

and this list could go on and on.

I'm also sure that all mentioned programs wouldn't have problems if I would connect through Wicd or PPPoE but of course Ubuntu Software Center and Ubuntu One are better because they use the one and only Network Manager.
