One of few advantages I love about MikroTik is full configuration /export functionality.

It's very useful for me, because having whole config as single text enables me to:

• assess and analyze the configuration as whole, which makes it much easier to spot oddities or things that should not be there, or are inconsistent,
• store it in git, and be able to review changes comparing to previous committed configuration, and also to quickly recover previous config in case if I break config by messing with device, or manage to completely lock out from device (start from scratch/reset),
• share it with others (handover).

So, I bought RB260GSP (CSS106-1G-4P-1S), because I needed fiber (SFP) and PoE-in with PoE-out, and this device delivers these physical qualities, but to my surprise - coming from RouterOS:

• there is no CLI for SwOS,
• there is no export of config in human readable format from SwOS.

I would very much appreciate even print-like export, that is not importable back. Just, if it fulfils points above.

I plan to add another PoE switch. And, alternatively, there's hEX PoE (RB960PGS), that uses the same QCA8337 switch chip, but it is almost twice as expensive.

it is almost twice as expensive.

I wouldn't describe +59% as "almost twice." It's closer to "almost half again."

Another way to look at the $33 premium is as a discounted RouterOS Level 4 license ($45 retail) plus the CPU, flash, and RAM upgrades needed to run it.

You expected something for nothing? Sounds like a heck of a deal to me.

In my country, it's 90€ vs 50€. The RB960PGS is also not available in eshops listing in on low price. Some eshops list it even at 100€ or more.

Agree, I don't expect RouterOS to be brought to RB260GSP.

Also, RB960PGS supports 802.3af/at PoE output. So, the price increase is expected to cover more sophisticated HW, too.

My ask is just, if MikroTik switches with SwOS were capable to export human readable configuration.

Yes, it would be nice to have a human readable export from SwitchOS.
