nftables has a lot of problems once you get past the extreme basics. It only got stateful support in like 2017/2018 and still can't do some important features for tunnels and ipsec. Nobody with real-world experience is going to using nftables yet, except as a proof of concept or for other esoteric reasons.
The amount of paid blogverts pushing of nftables by Red Hat is pretty obvious.
nftables might be good some day, but it's not there yet.
- hinkley 6y agoAny time someone says, "It's faster but it's missing important features," I just want someone to wake me up when the feature is there and the benchmarks are redone. Lots of code is faster when it's feature-deficient, and gets slower once it has covered the special cases.
