OpenWRT is pretty much brain dead simple with the default load if you have reasonable hardware and use LuCi. Usually the load of the firmware is exactly like what the factory firmware does. Yea, LuCi is a bit more compex than your average home router product, but it's still easy enough that I was able to figure it out with very little help. Armed with the FAQ and or WiKi it's really easy and takes you about 3 steps.. 1. set the root password, 2. configure your internet connection and 3. turn on the wireless connections. Everything else is optional for most.
One issue they could fix is the default configuration. Something a bit more functional out of the first flash might be nice... Just enough to get everything running out of the box, but the failsafe mode is only a few mouse clicks away from an internet connection.
