Flame bait aside... and I won't fault Gustin for having an opinion (nobody expected that eh? :-), I have had very good experiences with PFSense. I migrated from IPCOP to various WRT flavors which I mostly liked... Then on to PFSense which has been great. The web GUI (which you are not completely limited to) is for the most part intuitive, the community documentation is concise and seemingly endless. It's overall feature set is HUGE when you look at the packages one can add on. I'd give the PFSense live CD a hard look if you haven't already made a decision.
