I felt the same way and still kind of do, but I was really impressed the other day. My rural neighbour and I decided to share an Internet connection and I set a Mikrotik WAP in "CPE" mode (basically what you'd use if you were connecting to a WISP) and it was incredibly smooth to get going. WiFi radio in the WAP connects to my network, Ethernet coming out of it goes to his home network. They're incredibly powerful devices no doubt and I have ended up in configuration hell before, but they've definitely gotten better at some of the more common (and less common) workflows.
