I currently have an old Cisco Catalyst 2960. I'm limited by the 100Mbps speed and it's starting to really bothering me. I was thinking of maybe switching to a Mikrotik CRS112-8P-4S-IN but i'd like to you know what you folks are using.

As someone is very comfortable on Cisco / Arista / juniper, yes. It's the only platform I'd push someone to use the web ui on.

Ubiquiti isn't perfect, but it's what I'd recommend over mikrotik.

It's a "verb noun" ui with autocompletion, same as on old procurve switches, same as on most gear.

What is the issue you have with mt CLI?

It's just a fair whack different from the standard cli. It's not bad it just requires, for myself, a different mindset when configuring. If I used it more often then I would be used to it. Problem is it's virtually non existent in corporate/ business networks around me and only need to do basic home setups with it so I just don't use enough.
