IMHO the biggest thing that would improve VPN support is properly reporting errors. NetworkManager seems to think it is a Windows application with the way it throws useless generic error messages at you.
Instead of "connection failed", how about "connection refused due to key size mismatch"? Even if it looks like technobabble to the end user it is something they can throw into Google to solve their problem. VPN connections are a nightmare to debug right now, and are so complicated that regular people frequently don't set them up correctly the first time.
