Basically, network-admin was designed as a generic GUI to configure
distribution-specific ways of handling network. Since then,
NetworkManager has become the new system that most distributions use,
since it allows for better integration within the desktop, and a more
flexible handling of connections (roaming...). You may have noticed that
today in Ubuntu, all connections are marked as "roaming mode" in
network-admin, meaning that the latter tool does not take care of them
at all, letting them to NetworkManager.

So the only remaining bits are those few settings you listed, which are
Unix standards, easy to configure. NetworkManager could add a new tab to
nm-connections-editor, since it would be stupid to use a complete tool
for that. I'm not aware of any discussion about that, but that may be
worth a mail to them.
