In favor of... ? systemd-networkd might make sense I guess.
Do note that NetworkManager has gotten vastly better in recent years
(IMHO). It can run and exit after setting things up, it has a really
nice cli/tui, etc. I find it handy on servers too if you need to setup a
vpn, or the like.
We may be in a kind of quandary here. Fedora switched to systemd-resolved for DNS and
dismissed NetworkManager. According to various posts, this led to misconfiguration on
systems using NetworkManager DNS plugin. Systemd-networkd would be a solution. But a lot
of packages have NetworkManager as a dependency. In this respect, NetworkManager cannot be
replaced so easily.
