I don't think NM is the problem.
I find it quite nice to use if there is no WiFi problem,
which is probably most of the time for most people.
When I find it is no use, and actually a hindrance,
is if there is a problem,
since NM tends to obscure the source of the problem.

I'm glad to hear that.
Really, I would be perfectly happy if config-system-network
and its GUI counterparts worked as advertised,
and perhaps gave out a bit more information if requested.
Also the "profiles" need sorting out.

This has been bad for years.
I really think the job should be passed on to someone else,
or maybe the developers should take on some new blood.
