I’d agree the OPNsense UI is probably more intuitive if you’ve never touched PFSense but I found the OPNsense UI difficult coming from many years of PF.
In that case OPNsense does the exact same thing but with a more intuative GUI. It originally was a fork of pfSense.

Cus there isnt a reason to change if you are already super familiar with pfSense. They basically do the same stuff.
One has ego issues and shitty code issues.
