Is there an alternative that is less problematic than Network Manager?
0
NetworkManager is the default network manager on Lubuntu 18.04. Recently some unclear problems involving NetworkManager make my wifi adapter stop working.
Is NetworkManager the best choice for network manager nowadays?
I used WICD only a long while ago. Is WICD considered better than Network Manager and will it give me less problems?
Thanks.

The "best" choice is a matter of preference. Since your linked question seems to show a debilitating bug somewhere in your networking stack, trying a few alternatives in the stack seems wise. Do so methodically so you can rule out possible causes and narrow the scope of the bug. Since we don't seem to share your system's problem (I cannot reproduce it on my test system), it's hard to offer useful advice for your specific case.

NetworkManager is a good choice because it offers connecting to variety of networks, including something that requires enterprise/organization level of network authentication like MSCHAPv2. I've tried wicd and it mostly works, but I find it a bit clunky. The problems could be related to the device drivers as well, so you might want to investigate what's indmesgfor your wifi interface. I've etherned module issues, which causes Network Manager to spam with desktop notifications, but it's not NM's fault in the first place
