> What do people like about NAT?

NAT allows people to be very dumb about networking. Either you "open a port" or you don't.

It works very well as long somebody else is managing the network for you and you just ask for stuff to happen and then that somebody else has to actually make it work.

Replace the word NAT with Firewall and all security-related statements are the same.
