NetworkManager is not the cause for having multiple UIs, that is just one of the side effects of GNOME going for the minimalistic approach. It’s never going to have all settings in their simple UI because that’s out of the scope for the GNOME project.
If having advanced network settings in a single UI is important to you, use KDE. It has wifi, static IPv4/IPv6, VLANs, routes, bridges, VPN and much more all in one interface.
Yes, but it is the cause for having issues jumping between networks and never having proper IPv6 support.
What issues are you having? I have no issues with switching between networks and using IPv6 on Fedora KDE.
The only thing I ever noticed was that its stubborn with releasing its DHCP IP addresses and there is no refresh button in KDE. Disabling and enabling again usually solves that, although not sure if that is on NetworkManager or dhclient.
Everything is “out of scope” with GNOME these days it seems.
It is, that’s why it is not a suitable DE for people that need more than the basics. I wish they were better with adding advanced features but they are not and probably never will be.
KDE might not be as pretty and flashy but it is pretty extensive when it comes to settings and fast with implementing new features.
