On the server side, this is one of the reasons my company is quickly moving all Ubuntu servers to Debian. It is so much easier to just edit /etc/network/interfaces.

Guessing, but I think it probably has more to do with the various tools and frontends (GUI, cloud-init, etc.) designed to manage the configurations than it has to do with the capabilities of what the configuration system will support. I have been bitten by some of this too, but the various script hooks are still there, and I've been able to support everything else via those mechanisms.

Could you provide some concrete examples?
