For sure, VLAN config is one of the most extremely "How and why did anyone end up designing it this way?" thought-inducing areas of Mikrotik config.
But I will say that the boxes of theirs that I bought about ten years ago are still going strong, never had a device fail on me, still receiving OS updates, still able to export and re-import my config to any of a wide variety of newer devices when the time comes.
Clearly they're not the right choice for everybody, but there are certainly up sides, if you're willing to grapple with the config.
