Personally, for my home use, I've gone from propriatory routers to OpenWRT (starting on the classic Linksys WRT54GL) and I am now running Turris Omnia with the OpenWRT-variant they are using.
However, my next network gear will probably be my own build with a regular linux-distro since I cannot be bothered to re-learn the various tools and quirks used in OpenWRT or whatever specialized router OS I am using. I find it much easier to just configure it with the standard network-tools with a minimal install than having to figure out the layers above each time as soon as one wants to do something remotely specialized.
