I have been using that feature for, I don't even remember how long, but definitely since it was marked beta or something. I am not a heavyweight like some other in this thread, but my current local state is 70GB and ~30k files, global state is ~50GB (I need to prune WhatsApp on phone again) and ~10k files. I am no biggie, but its not a slouch to keep all this working in 7 devices, with overlapping directories shared between them, across 2 timezones, over local and public network. Zero complaints is exactly my experience. Syncthing Just Works™

Great, because even 1 complaint there would be too many, wouldn't it?
I agree. And that's my gripe with Dropbox, Drive, OneDrive (the big 3 that I was able to try, no apple devices). Every one of them has shit the bed on me, on more than one occasion. That's after burning my bandwidth and taking away my privacy. Syncthing just wins out every way (as long as problem scope is file sync, not cloud storage or sharing).
