It is pretty nice - I've been using it for over a year to sync files between my Windows desktop and 14" M1 Pro.
I've only come across a few hiccups:
- Sometimes MacOS updates "break" Syncthing (fairly easy to fix, just have to re-authorize permissions)
- Sometimes I'll have end up with a large file/folder syncing that I don't want to sync, so I try to add an ignore rule after the fact and delete the file from the device I don't want it on... that usually doesn't go over well and I end up having to pause sync and fix the resulting conflict manually.
