Why did they cut out ifconfig in new Ubuntu distributions?

Question

ubuntu

Good evening. Recently, I had to reinstall the OS a bit and noticed an interesting feature of the brand new xsubunty, ifconfig got lost somewhere ... What did he not like so much or was he found a replacement?

Answer 1

There was a whole article , and even a good one, about this.

Answer 2

Because ifconfig has been outdated for 5 years already. He was replaced by iproute

Answer 3

not removed.
will persist even in 20.04 focal fossa focal/amd64/net-tools/filelist we'll see later.
just don't put a buy-default, see ky0's answer, install
it and use it. but better update your habits.
