HP's command set is similar to, but much simpler than Cisco's. The web interfaces I've found to be mildly useful. I found it easy to transition from Cisco to HP.
Juniper's command set is a good deal different than Cisco's, and I like it more than I do Cisco's though it can be confusing until you get used to it. But the Juniper web site has a pretty cool Cisco-to-Juniper translator than can help, and the web interface, especially on the newest firmware, is pretty darn nice. Also, there are two display modes for command output on the Juniper - one of which is something like XML (the native interface, and I'm growing to like it), and another using "display set", which shows a more line-oriented output, more like Cisco's output. Ubiquiti's don't have a terribly good command line - it's just easier to use the web interface in most cases, and I haven't had much need for the CLI on it. Bang for buck, they're very nice.
