It's also worth saying that Mikrotik is a common platform for "homelabbers" who use enterprise-grade (ish) hardware in their homes. RouterOS isn't without its flaws and pain points, but Mikrotik brings high quality features into a low cost package that appeals to many. It's the lesser-known (and polished) brother of what Ubiquiti used to be.

Are you saying lesser known and less polished or lesser known and more polished?

It's lesser known and not as slick (polished) but it is quite capable and a good deal at the price point.

And it doesn't have cloud dependencies to manage it.
