It looks like netplan is the future, but compared to this simple command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
it's much more work to edit the annoying yaml file (the yaml parser feels like a 20 years old technology…).
Does someone know a nice tool to modify the netplan config by just using the command line?

If you're using a desktop machine, or using wireless, or VPN, then NetworkManager should be used. If you've got a server, which remains fairly static, then netplan should be used. Once your .yaml file is edited, generated, and applied, you shouldn't have to regularly change/edit it. Edit your question and show mecat /etc/netplan/*.yaml.

The ifconfig command still exists in Ubuntu, but there is no equivalence between what ifconfig and netplan are intended to do. ifconfig is a tool for modifying the current state of an interface on the system. netplan is a tool for persistently managing the configuration of the network on a system.
If you know how to configure your network interfaces with a series of ifconfig commands, you could add a systemd unit or init script to run these at boot, but this would be less well integrated with the system's boot than using netplan.
There are presently no command line tools for editing netplan configuration.

@Tom Of course, but the 'old' technology did not offer a direct command line interface either. The ifconfig command does not alter the /etc/network/interfaces file, it modifies the configuration that the interfaces file has initialized. The netplan configuration is the same -- an initialization. The 'new' ip command like the ifconfig command modifies that configuration in place. I wonder too why those who build our systems are driven to fix things that work, but that is the world we're in and it keeps us on our toes.
