Well, then question could be "Why write webGUI and create products like
m0n0wall when here is *nix, *nux and *BSD" :)

I myself didn't have much time to learn any of OSes mentioned above. Thats
why I use m0n0wall instead of FreeBSD. 
But it would be more comfortable for me to manage my m0n0s from a windows
app rather than using webGUI. Change this, thange that, upload, get response
OK and you're done. The same could be with webGUI, but as you said - there
are people who prefer command line administration. The same here - there are
people who prefer windows app's :)

About cross-platform. Didn't study much, but I know there is MONO (not M0N0
:)) for .NET framework apps to run on *nix based machines. I don't know much
about it so I can't say much about it. Here it is:

The real question is "Why write a Windows app for a FreeBSD based firewall?"
I am not opposed to a gui, but it should be cross-platform.  Also, the
underlying tools should be built as a library so that a console/text-based
version could be built for people who prefer command-line administration.

Just my $0.02.
