I've been a MikroTik fan since the beginning of my career some 15 years ago now. I have used the MikroTik router and Ubiquiti AP combination ever since. With that said, I can absolutely agree that their UX is terrible for anyone who doesn't specifically know how to configure a MikroTik router. The fact that you have to configure FQ-CoDel yourself and some bufferbloat protection isn't just a built-in option is absurd for anyone using it as a home router.

They have an increasingly capable "simple" UI for casual users. It seems like improving it is on their roadmap, as they've been delivering vast improvements in functionality with each major release.

Also, shipping winbox on all platforms has been a huge QoL improvement

Not sure how I missed the Linux binary. I can stop booting into Windows for it

I configure it by copy pasting the pages to chatgpt and asking questions. Dumb? Maybe but seems to work.

If you use codex or Claude code or similar you can just have it ssh in.
