Simple answer: yes. PF is light years ahead of iptables in terms of
ease of use (and indeed capabilities, IIRC). That alone makes it
worthwhile.

More complex answer: perhaps. There are rumoured to be various easy
to use front ends that kick iptables into doing what you want, but
I've never tried any of them, so I can't comment on whether they
really make enough of a difference.
