My opinion is that `ip` is a more powerful tool, but it is not as useful for quickly obtaining information or performing a basic action like up/down.

- tssva 7y agoMy opinion is that while a little more verbose it is just as useful for obtaining information or performing basic actions. Especially since it allows you to use the same cli and actions to maintain most network related actions rather than multiple tools with varying commands.
