         | I've seen tons of reports declaring that it just doesn't work &
         | isn't expected to. It was a shock seeing a report that it does
         | work!

       | There's fantastic support for all the weird ways to connect:
       | wifi-p2p/direct, ad-hoc, Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP/Easy
       | Connect), Shared Code Device Provisioning (Pkex). Good debug
       | tools like initiating roam to.
       | 
       | It's nice that iwd does less; it just gets wireless connected.
       | NetworkManager does so much, and somehow it's never sparked joy.
       | I've spent time on connman and that was fine enough. I've managed
       | my own wpa-supplicant configs, which worked but was clunky. Iwd
       | has really been a joy to work with for me, so clear & direct,
       | with easy config files & a very pleasant little tui/cli.
       | 
       | Systemd-networkd has also been quite simple & direct for me, very
       | configurable. But that's another story.
