The reason this is painful for me is that we have 50+ Mikrotik routers
in the network and I configure them all. So if I am home, warm in bed,
and someone calls from in the pouring rain and says 'This Mikrotik just
fell in a puddle, I need a new one!' I can say 'go to my config
repository, pull the config and import it in.' They grab it, say
'Thanks' and I go back to sleep.
The other way, I have to spend an hour on the 'phone saying 'No, I said
IP not Tools.. no.. ADDRESSES.. OK, click the plus... ok... ' or drive
all the way out there.

You take it out of the box, configure it from memory and put into place?
All I typically need is the IP addresses, ssids and firewall, so yes.
Then again, it depends on what the device is DOING on the network. Core
routers are easy. PPPoE servers are easy. Even APs are pretty quick,
IF I know the ssid. These things can be magical and are capable of SO
many things, but MOST networks use only a small portion of that
capability on each given router.
