My least favorite computer for daily drivers. I've installed and tuned a couple megasquirt ECU and due to their essence of customization, require many hardware assessments (potentiometer tuning, solder new wires, added capacitors/resistors, signal/trigger and oscilloscope diagnostics).
Here is one of my recent Megasquirt setups

I wouldn't recommend a Megasquirt to a novice unless they also own and know how to use an oscilloscope. If you want a preview just look through the MS forums, of which there are several different versions of forum, for each custom portion of that ECU, and all of which have a dedicated group of electronics experts which are necessary for any person who is new to the hardware aspect to get help. Without those experts many users/owners would be dead in the water. Nobody new to computers is going to randomly "figure out" that they needed a 9.5k resistor between "JP1 and JP2" to attenuate the voltage from the wheel trigger, for example. So it will require research, time, investment of self.
Which is why the PFC is so powerful. No research necessary. No hardware configuration. No trigger signal to fool with. No injector phasing to setup. (You think the AEM or Haltech will come pre-set with the correct phasing? Find out the hard way) Add that to low cost and you have the fundamental recipe for a solid daily driver: KISS.
