Watchguard UI is still not Windows Native compliant, as in it was a TCL
port with lots of nonstandard icons, some backward command sets as in
during the setup and other strangeness not usually observed in other
firewall products. They have been slowly fixing feature sets that were
promised to work when the firebox was first introduced. The SOHO feature
never really worked as promised. The manual in the beginning was pretty
light and had several glaring errors.

Do you have any technical reasons to dislike Watchguard, or is it purely
aesthetics that drive firewall choices these days? At least we've moved
away from prettiest GUI.
