Could you argument that? I use a OpenVPN network everyday with no issue.
Networkmanager's OpenVPN plugins connects to OpenVPN servers and receives routes and addresses. It then decides to ignore all routing information the server sent and always sets up a default route through the VPN. It also takes some arbitrary host as gateway, not the one that the server tells it to. In this scenario, it is no longer sufficient to configure the server properly, you also need to duplicate all configuration in the networkmanager applet on the client. It's been that way for years and this hasn't changed since (although the last version I tried was a year ago or so).
