TestMaker has the look and feel of monolithic IDEs and debugging environments, with a user interface that will feel very comfortable to Microsoft Windows users.  Once past some installation issues, it definitely leads in user-friendliness and ease of getting started testing (complete with large, friendly "push to test" buttons), and it has testing-building agents that can pull down a WSDL and build a basic test for you with almost no effort.  Beyond the basic level, though, you get some useful libraries and the full power of a high-level language to hand but for the most part you're on your own writing your test scripts in jython.  (Alternately, TestMaker can be thought of as a Python IDE with some extra user interface widgets and useful class libraries.)  We do currently use TestMaker for some prototyping and test development work, but not as part of the nightly grind.  A note on installation: TestMaker gets special mention for being absolutely opaque about undocumented JRE and CLASSPATH requirements, especially as seen in the BEA and IBM JRE packages provided with RHEL; the BEA 1.5 JRE currently seems to be doing the job.
