I prefer Junos as screenOS except for one thing :
HA is a hell to configure with Junos whereas it's really easy to do it with
screenOS, at least last time I tried a couple of months ago.

Anyway, ScreenOS cli really sucks compared to JunOS cli.

I'm with Owen. I have nothing good to say about ScreenOS. In contrast
JunOS has been great.

Just my $0.02 having dealt extensively with both environments over the
years.
