Ubuntu also uses the iptables but has a front-end for controlling it called, ufw (uncomplicated firewall). It's quite powerful but the only problem with ufw is... if you want to configure it for better security, then you'll have to use nothing but the ugly Terminal :P.
Gufw is written to "fill" that gap. Although, maybe because it's still kinda new and all... it won't give you an impressive amount of options ... but as a usual PC user all you want is to configure standard firewall related configurations, then Gufw is pretty useful nonetheless.
From configuring things like P2P (file sharing) protocols, configure individual applications based settings, edit services based settings/permissions, etc... Gufw does make it easier without a doubt.
