The confusion arises from using NM to refer to anything other than the
daemon.  NetworkManager is the name of only the daemon.   It has frontends
in various desktop environments that have their own names.  If you have
problems with them, refer to them by the appropriate name such as KDE
Plasma NM or GNOME NM so we know that you are talking about issues with the
specific frontend.  In any case, there are no actively maintained
alternatives to the daemon itself (although some base functionality is
becoming part of systemd-networkd)  and if you have problems with the user
interface, it is better to report it and get it fixed rather than the swap
the whole thing out.
