Specially from the command line:

sudo connmanctl

#connmanctl> enable wifi
#connmanctl> scan wifi
#connmanctl> services
#connmanctl> agent on
#connmanctl> connect wifi_*_managed_psk
#connmanctl> quit

(no playing with wpa_passphase, etc...)

Well, if nmcli was cut out of the debian network-manager, then connman
vs nmcli would be a wash..

But since network-manager (in debian) brings in a lot of gtk3
dependices, it's not worth it unless you want a gtk3 based desktop.

Since we went for qt (qt's always had a eglfs layer so sgx graphics
could be used), there's a small gui for connman (CMST)
