The webUI is not bad in pfSense but a solid command line interface is central to so many of the really nice things about Junos. And JunOS's cli and approach to configuration in general is pretty slick. A better separation of running configuration vs current edits. In pfSense there's often times that you have to apply one set of changes before moving to another part of the interface to make additional changes to your configuration. It would be nice to be able to make any changes you need and then be able to commit check and then commit confirm them. At work we use the "show | compare" to spit out a diff between the current edits and the running configuration in order to get other people on the team a chance to comment on any changes that you're about to make. pfSense does have this feature but I'll mention it anyhow b/c we use it all the time at work and to have it integrated into a CLI is key. The rollback feature which lets you load previous configurations into the current edit config at which point you can do "show | compare" and make additional changes before running commit. We us this to turn down a BGP session with a peer who has some maintenance window. It's nice to just be able to rollback to the previous configuration very easy at the end of the maintenance window. -- David
