I think always more that ubuntu in NOT Linux. The firewall on Linux IS iptables. All other ubuntu strange things is unusefull for Linux community.

And it defintley is a very useful tool. It makes iptables very simple to use. Its syntax is similar to OpenBSD’s PF syntax...
For example
ufw deny proto tcp to any port 80
will deny all traffic to tcp port 80. Its cool isn't it?

Furthermore ufw provides a per package configuration. For example per default all ports are closed, if you install ssh server the package has an own ufw configuration which says the packge needs port 22 to be able to work and opens it. You can still go and change this configuration.
Of course someone who is able to use ufw is also able to use good old iptables, but ufw is simply much more intuitive to use.
Just give it a try.
OpenSSH is also developed by the openBSD team. Does using it under linux make linux less linux and more OpenBSD?
