Not for the actual firewall, but there are different front-ends for
configuring it. You can pick the one that works best for you, or
write your own firewall rules by hand.

The actual firewall is part of the kernel. What the firewall
software does is help you configure that firewall. When I played
with Windows, the firewall was an add-on - kind of an afterthought.
I don't know if this is still true.
