Overall I find Rift more boxing friendly.
It is easier to get and running, especially with follow and assist using ISBoxer.
There is already videos and tons of information on getting started.
Rift also has pretty good macro support.
The game play feels pretty smooth. Very similar to WOW.

SWTOR I find fairly boxer friendly, but not nearly as easy to get up and running as Rift.
There are some quirks that SWTOR has, especially surrounding the Class Quests and instancing.
The game play just doesn't feel as smooth as Rift, with follow getting broken all the time for example.

I am currently boxing SWTOR again as I like the story and genre just a little bit more than fantasy right now.
