No, it's also controversial for other reasons. In my case, I have
issues with it because it was designed for the "there's exactly one
user" case. The "multi-user" case (as well as the "nobody is logged in"
case) were only bolted on later and AFAIK those still don't really work
right (e.g. last I tried you can only have one nm-applet running at
a time).
The problem here is that GNU/Linux is a multi-user system, so NM's basic
design was fundamentally wrong, and it can be difficult to fix such
problem after the fact.
