I am a syncthing user and I absolutely love it. The author is right. When you get rid of corporate cruft, computers are just computers. They belong to you and they perform computation (and network operations). I use almost exclusively FOSS, and I hear the scary points like you'll be out of the loop, won't be able to talk to some friends, it's more maintenance, etc. Some of that is true some of the time, but the trade off is your machine does what you want it to do and only what you want it to do. It is well worth it.
