I was using Mikrotik for a while until I wanted to optimize bufferbloat issues - my goto algo has been fq_codel, which Mikrotik does not support. I've fiddled around with the other available algos, but nothing comes close to the performance that fq_codel has out of the box. I ended up switching to Opnsense instead. It was a good medium between dd-wrt and Mikrotik in terms of usability / exposed features. Mikrotik is for those who want to do traffic manipulation at very low levels - it's not for the faint of heart if you're not a network pro. I also didn't like that I had to pay for a new license if I had to change the hardware in my box.
