You've got a point with pfSense being ready to use, although I have to
admit, I never expected to be needing a null-modem cable to get the
embedded/nanoBSD version going. But other than that, it's practically ready
to use indeed. Just have to set everything, takes what, 15min tops in my
case and it's very easy. Everything is easy to find.
I have been looking for a Linux equivalent hoping I would not have to brush
up my command line skills (I have nothing against doing that though), but so
far I haven't found anything (incl the ones you mentioned) that come even
close to the look and feel of pfSense.

For small systems (typically for off-the-shelf wireless
firewall/routers), I find OpenWRT a good solution. It doesn't have
anything like the features of pfSense, but it fits fine in a little box.
The gui is okay, though I have mostly used the command line. And it
lets you do a lot with such a cheap box - I use them for multiple
independent networks and as OpenVPN clients/servers.
But for a bigger system, such as our company's main firewall/router,
pfSense is looking like a strong alternative to Linux and command-line
configuration.
