I've never used "ip" in a sysadmin setting - the only command I've ever used on a nix (bsd, OS X, Solars, Linux) is ifconfig - which may just indicate I'm using the wrong command, but also demonstrates the issues involved in switching to a new command. Re- ifconfig/infiniband - this is ironic - because when I google "configure infiniband linux" - every page I come up with only mentions ifconfig, and never ip. (though, ifconfig is just used to display the interfaces, and it's usually other commands like ib that seem to be used to configure the infiniband interfaces)
