Difference between 'ifconfig' and 'ip' commands

I read some articles/tutorials on 'ifconfig' command, most of them included a common statement -

"ifconfig is deprecated by ip command"

and suggested to learn ip command. But none of them explained how 'ip' command is more powerful than 'ifconfig'.

What is the difference between both of them?
