IMHO, they both have bad usability curves. At least the PIX is linguistically "normalized" in that someone unfamiliar with the syntax can wade through it. As far as CLI-based firewalls go, you'll be hard pressed to beat OpenBSD's PF (also available for NetBSD and FreeBSD).

We might kill for goodness or die for goodness; we want it so badly. What is lacking is a sense of humor. Humor here does not mean telling jokes or being comical or criticizing others and laughing at them. A genuine sense of humor is having a light touch: not beating reality into the ground but appreciating reality with a light touch. The basis of Shambhala vision is rediscovering that perfect and real sense of humor, that light touch of appreciation." Shambhala - The Sacred Path of the Warrior
