Hi,
because it does two-way (and multi-way) synchronization, and handles deletes, renames, chmod etc.
I do work-PC <-> laptop <-> home-PC
and work-PC <-> MacBook <-> home-PC
If I add/modify/delete a file anywhere, the change eventually propagates everywhere else.
It can tell you what changes it is about to do and their size, and allow you to skip items, or reverse a change
The GUI is more informative, but it can be used in text-UI or even batch mode.
I do updates both when the laptop is near the thing it is syncing with, and small or important updates over the Internet as required.
IPv6 everywhere! Yay!
I have separate profiles for syncing "documents and software" v. "photos and videos" v. "ISOs"

Is there a way of getting rsync to just list what it would do without doing
anything? Failing that is there any other way to get a list of changes
between two trees of files where one of them is remote?
I've got an archive of 30G+ of video files that needs to be synchronised
occasionally with a system that has limited quota. I want to get a list of
new/changed files that I can pass as parameters to tar and then take a tar file
on a USB stick with the new files.
I know I could run "find ." on both sides and then compare the output files, but
I'd prefer something less hacky if possible.
