ip - ifconfig - netplan - interfaces file

Hi!

I'm struggling to configure a quite simple network using Debian. I can't see the difference between using the following commands to set the networking parameters.

ip
ifconfig
netplan
/etc/network/interfaces file

When to use one or another?
Why so many tools for the same purpose?
Does any of them cause conflict with the other?

Thanks!
