Let me throw in my 0.03 (adjusted for inflation) in favor of fwbuilder. It is not perfect (I just send two mails to the fwbuilder mailing list, one about a feature I would like to have, the other about a bug in the new "rule shading" checker), but it makes ipfilter rulesets easier to manage. It looks very similar to FW-1's GUI (probably no coincidence). If more people used this with IPFilter (it also speaks iptables and pf), the IPFilter compiler in fwbuilder would get a better shakeout... I use fwbuilder to manage the firewall (FreeBSD/IPFilter) and the IPSec router (Debian 3.0/IPTables) for a client. It's very nice to manage the two in one ruleset, even though they are quite different platforms.
