'FirewallD' doesn't replace 'iptables' except in the sense of activated system services
I just love using sv ipt ... (my abbreviations for service iptables). Not keen on another 'service' duplicating my manual and automated efforts.
FirewallD just builds and modifies iptables rules.
Why do I need more complexity together with more learning time and more effort and conversion of existing rules ? IP Tables works fine. Absolutely no complaints.
If anything, FirewallD might make it easier to migrate to nftables (a potential replacement for iptables) when that becomes mature[1].
Think I would prefer to use the nftables without a Lindoze wrapper.
