I agree. I think we have a bug with the routeadm thing, but otherwise
I think people are trying too hard to consider the history when
thinking about it. Broadly, I would say:
- If you don't care beyond "plug in a cable", use NWAM.
That's what it's for. We can and should fix any
defects that prevent it working as effectively
automatic in simple environments, which would
include desktops and laptops and even single-
homed servers with simple DHCP addresses.
- If you want to be in more control, or to have
things be more static, disable NWAM. Use ipadm.
You will know when this is you, because your
needs will not be met by NWAM.
I wouldn't make it more complex than that.
Cheers.

Hi!
+1 !
The 'daily driver' for me is a laptop. Mostly i am connected in my home
office with a cable,
sometimes i am sitting in some other room/outside connected via wifi,
or i take it with me to my parents (oh they're getting old!).
NWAM supports me in this use case.
There are dedicated machines in my home network that have dedicated
network parameters,
and some of them are manually configured. But these are special use
cases in my opinion
which have (plenty of) additional manual configuration so that the use
case can be fulfilled (file/print/sane/mail/NAT/whatever ) - the network
config is only a small part and you will know "if" and "how"..
Greetings,
Stephan
