Not heard of RouterOS before … <quick search> I didn’t realise jad released firmware that would run in a normal VM… don’t suppose you have anything to compare it to pfSense?
They do maintain an x86. I haven’t used pfSense but I have used OpnSense so that’s that closest thing I have to compare it to. I think the upside and downside to RouterOS/Mikrotik is the same thing: it allows very granular control over almost everything. Maybe to a fault. It’s probably overkill for most home networks.
