Links are supposed to be legacy and docker seems to push people into using docker networks, but pragmatically there's something nice about links that make it really fit and simple for many simple use cases where full-blown networks and service discovery are just way overkill.

If you don't use networks then all services are on the default network and can refer to each other by service name, so even without complicated full-blown networks links are superfluous.
