I have to say as a player with about 70 mods installed I don't have any issues with NMM. I use NMM, TesMOdMan, Boss and Wyre Bash and between them and using Tes5 Editor to tweak or clean mods I do very well thank you. One rule I live by in gaming is if it's not working right ask yourself why isn't and go down the line of thinks you can tweak first before blaming it on someon else. That's just simple common sence. Also, unless you have a beast of a machine you will have to lower game settings as you pile on mods or it will stutter, freeze, or crash. Remeber every mod YOU add-on is a mod not intended in the original creation of the game and that costs more strain on the game (and your PC) to keep it working. The best of both worlds usually is just a pipe dream. LOL :) Game well my friends and I hope I helped someone in my incoherent ramblings.
