I have no idea.
I don't use it;
I just use plain ifupdown configurations, plus wpagui on some hosts.
I think of that as easy and straight-forward.
In particular, it's well documented.

Uhh, needing to configure networking yourself? Fairly obvious, no?
Aside from that, likely a lack of GUI network configuration / tray widgets / whatever... Unless you install something else that provides those, of which there are several.

Vague question -> vague answers.
