I've adopted IPv6 for a small business network I run and it's been great being able to punch small holes in the firewall for certain services without dealing with NAT, port conflicts for software that makes it hard to configure ports, etc. I have a bunch of services that I access there that are configured IPv6-only just because it's so much easier to configure than NAT.

2. MacOS and Windows use IPv6 Privacy Extensions to randomize your address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Temporary_address...

3. They work great though, I always had weird MTU issues with IPv4 and had to hard-code one in my router, with IPv6 Path-MTU just works. It really annoys me when people turn off ping, stop doing that.

4. Poor UI for firewalls/routers that is not optimized for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 is indeed a problem. And not just that, home or small business routers often have no IPv6 UI at all for stuff like firewall.

With IPv4 I always had trouble remember exactly what number was what device, with IPv6 it kind of forced my hand to set up DNS entries for everything and that short-term pain (what, 15 minutes?) paid back every time I had to connect to some printer I couldn't remember if it was .218 or .215
