Are there any JunOS features you consider killer that are not in pfSense 2.1? What would be these features?
'JunOS' is a fairly vague comparison point - the JunOS feature set supported by the big Juniper routers is somewhat different from that supported by the little SOHO firewalls.
As a routing platform - the big difference (in my experience) has been in BGP. Whilst pfSense does have an OpenBGP package, I've not heard too many people using it in anger with full routing tables for considerable traffic volumes (i.e. >1Gbps). By contrast, that's fairly standard for all but the very bottom J-series boxes (and even the very bottom J2320 will do 400Mbps).
Actually, BGP on pfSense is an area I'd really like to learn more about from people using it in anger - I can think of quite a few sites with ageing J-series and Quagga boxes that I'd love to replace with pfSense at some point - if pfSense proves appropriate.
As a firewall I can't really comment - I've no real experience with the smaller Juniper SOHO boxes.
