Still seems to be missing certain features - like showing what routes you're advertising to a BGP peer, so certainly not ready for use. Of course the way that routeros is developed, it relies on users to do the testing and debugging.
Tread softly, there are some reports¹ that things like PIM/RIP are not working/not implemented. ¹ https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=180896
So, what's the best wifi gateway with extra access points for a home that I don't have to screw with and doesn't spy on me or have cloud crap? My ISP sent a Google wifi thing but I'd rather pay a few hundred than use that for 10 bucks a month to rent that thing, and I don't trust Google. Edit: Thanks for all the answers, from me and anyone else who was looking! I have some good ideas from the below comments and hopef…

Does MikroTik live in the same prosumer space that made ubiquiti products so popular early on?
Yes, but possibly with more ambition to be a budget alternative to Cisco and Juniper. Looking at the presentations under https://mum.mikrotik.com/ , it seems there are quite a few ISPs running on MikroTik kit, especially in less-developed parts of the world.
I don't deal much with IXPs, but I did hear somewhere that there were a shockingly high number of mikrotik peers at one exchange point (10%+)

Unify Dream Machine, it's constantly out of stock, you have to keep checking Ubiquiti website to get it. It has cloud access which is used by app to monitor or control it from outside of your house, but you can disable it.
Nope, don't trust them to do that after https://community.ui.com/questions/Ubiquiti-ignoring-auto-up...
I've been thinking about going with Mikrotik at least twice but never pulled the trigger because I am sort of a chicken shit. Is it easy for a noob to setup things like port forwarding and vlans on a router/ap box?
worked for me. one suggestion though, get a serial cable, so in case you creative some too creative vlan config that will lock you out, you could fix it without having to reset entire box
I wish to declare that I'm a Mikrotik fanboy. My hardware is ten years old, doesn't break, and Mikrotik supports it on the latest versions, apparently without plans to ever sunset the support. Ooh aah.
