I always found buildroot a lot easier to fathom and harness. And certainly flexible enough with the ability patch every included recipe and package.

I cut my teeth on Buildroot but greatly prefer Yocto now. Buildroot is fast and loose, where Yocto forces you to do the right thing.

I think it is easier. But for some projects it becomes harder to maintain.
