Netplan is simply a configuration/management tool on top of existing network utilities. It does not replace any of them. It was originally designed for enterprise situations where you want to copy a network configuration across a hundred workstations easily.

And the fact that the same base template could result in wildly different results for the resulting config on some machines wasn't helpful either, made debugging broken networking a royal pain, so we would just reinstall those machines a few times until netplan finally decided to generate valid configuration instead.Last edited by Ananace; 05 April 2024, 03:02 AM.

Upstart (OpenRC, systemd?), Mir (Xorg, Wayland?), Bazaar (Mercury, Git?), Ubuntu Touch (don't even go there), Unity (insert the other 9 million DEs here), LightDM (GDM, whatever, pick any), Snap (Flatpak, AppImage), UFW (firewalld), autoinstall (cloud-init), AppArmor (SELinux), so many success stories of Canonical trying to reinvent the wheel... and failing miserably.

I think netplan is a bit of a make-work project, extra complexity for its own sake. Originally IIRC they developed netplan because they wanted to use NetworkManager (NM) on desktop and systemd-networkd on servers, with the justification that NM is focused on desktop use cases. Meanwhile server-focused distros like RHEL use NM all the time, so this justification doesn't hold water. They could just have went with NM on both desktop and server, and forgot about netplan altogether.
