JFTR there's no connection (pun, sorry) between Wicd¹ and Wicked.²
Confusion is compounded by their identical pronunciation.

Wicked would claim to be a superset of NetworkManager. Wicd is a
simple connection manager, handling just one connection at a time.

In any case, wicd's days are numbered unless and until it moves
forward from Python2. There's a Python3 version in experimental,
but the hiatus might not be good for sustaining its popularity.

¹ acronym, Wireless Interface Connection Daemon

² "No REST for the wicked", motivational joke after SUSE rejected
  using REST, a REpresentational State Transfer interface.

Cheers,
David.
