Great suggestion, Victor. I've snuck in a reference to them in point 4 (and added a few more).
Great point.
I didn't mean to imply that nmcli was a literal replacement for ifconfig, only that a user might want to consider using it instead. In fact, ifconfig itself is still available on most Linux distributions, so the ip command itself isn't even required. They're just nice alternatives.
