Possibly NetworkManager, and its utilities like nmcli and its GUI equivalent are the way forward in the world of Linux, and the other, older, networking utilities can be put to rest ?

It's useful in systems that may have changing network configurations (for example, a laptop), otherwise I find it to be a complete pain in the ....
