Netgate aren't "bad guys" ... they are simply not people who should be in charge of firewall software. Their hardware has been very good over many years - it's their "hardware" view of life applied to software that's the trouble.

Look at it this way, if you were going to write firewall software, what language would you chose? C, C++, Visual Basic, Java, or Python? What's more important - the ease of writing the code, or the security of the code?
