I am puzzled by ipfw and ipfilter.

I am looking at ipfilter to get NAT, because i believe that ipfw
provides "enough" security.

q) is it true that ipfw and ipfilter are providing roughly the same
function? 

q) if so, is there a reason to prefer one or the other? (Why does
FreeBSD come with ipfw?)
