I'll second this: I used OfflineIMAP at first, but switched to mbsynrc after being unhappy with OfflineIMAP's performance. (It also seemed to hang semi-sporadically for me, which made it a pain to launch as a cron job.)
Lots of factors affect which tool is the better for a given user, of course, but I personally have been happier with mbsynrc.
