I've used "ip" for a while. I like it. Maybe it's not obvious how to get started with it, but try these:

ip addr

ip link

ip link set dev eth1 up

ip addr add 10.0.1.5/24 dev eth1

ip route

ip addr del 10.0.1.5/24 dev eth1

It's easier to manage multiple IPv4 addresses on an interface with the ip command (that does work, and can be useful). It's also more obvious how to name vlan "interfaces" and such with arbitrary names.
