OpenWRT is pretty much the oldest still running (and popular) with UCI. There's the classic nvram ones, but those are hardly manageable manually.

> The abbreviation UCI stands for Unified Configuration Interface, and is a system to centralize the configuration of OpenWrt services.

> UCI is the successor to the NVRAM-based configuration found in the White Russian series of OpenWrt.

Also the web UI counterpart, LuCI: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/luci/luci.essentials

I've been running OpenWRT on my home router since ca 2017, and I found LuCI both quite intuitive, and immensely powerful. Simple things are simple, complex or difficult things are possible, with just clicking around.

Unfortunately if something can't be done with LuCI, you're pretty much on your own - the documentation for the internals is scarce and expects you to be an expert/developer.
