as someone who has worked with SNMP for the past 5 years and who has written SNMP to websocket bridges and SNMP device simulators, SNMP was simple upto V2C, they made it extremely complex with V3 and they have shoved too many things into what was once a simple protocol. also, SNMP is simple due to the fact that it is built mostly over UDP and that there are no acknowledgements for any action you perform. Netconf is a much nicer interface to work with.
