but what’s the point. It’s not that much work to create a unit file and configuration is always better in text form.

If netplan would be an api driven tool via dbus or other ipc‘s to drive an ui I would understand the need. But as cli tool?! It’s a little bit stupid

NetworkManager is that api driven tool, with cli frontend available too (nmcli); I don't get the need for netplan either.
