Actually the question should be reversed. If ip was to do one better (it is, no?) than ifconfig, why doesn't it?

not reinvent the wheel; make a wheel with gear shift. would probably not be too difficult to add an option that displays info the same way ifconfig does, for backwards compatibility. would have to talk to the ip developers about that.
