In some ways, I find the MikroTik RouterOS routing filter syntax a little 
more powerful than Cisco's route-maps. As routing filters work the same 
way as firewall filters, you can group rules in "chains" and reuse parts 
of your filters in other filters by jumping to another chain. This could 
be used, for instance, on a peering setup, where you have a number of 
rules per peer but also some common filtering for all peers, or to handle 
specific and generic filtering for your customers.

I haven't yet found anything that I missed being able to with filters, at 
least with BGP. With other routing protocols, it's another story.

It's different thinking for every router platform/os, really. On
Cisco/Quagga you can also reuse filtering rules by using peering-groups.

At the end of the day, everybody has to find their best medium.
