Why is this so difficult?

Coming from Debian iptables I was excited to try XG. I had used UTM 9 and was impressed but it lacked HA at a reasonable price so did not continue.

What is this? Why are firewall rules SO difficult to create? It will take me days to do what I could do with iptables in an hour, or UTM in 2 hours. Why is the initial IP 172.16.16.16? Shorewall in Linux does a great job of zones, XG you fail miserably here. The GUI is slow and unintuitive.

I have yet to use a product that looked so interesting but ended up being completely useless. UTM was and is a far superior product, too bad it costs an arm and a leg for a company of 50.

Yet, 3 years later, the WEB UI is still painfully slow (XG125 and XG home) and the setup is very frustrating!
Oh, I miss my old MIkrotik!
Yes, yes, I know that it's a completely different product, but the easiness and speed to:

create/edit firewall/nat/mangle rules

create/edit routes

create/edit interfaces

create/edit DHCP static IP (oh my!!!)

easiness to view at once all the

firewall/nat/mangle rules

routes

interfaces

...and so on!
