This sort of thing is good in direct proportion to the quality of the documentation and support. If you don't know what you're doing, the fact that it works feels overwhelmingly important, but conceals the fundamental insecurity. If you do know what you're doing, do you agree with all the policy decisions being made here?

Good documentation and community can bring you out of darkness. I'm not sure this is doing that job as well as OpenWRT or a good distro's user mailing list.
