I think it existed before but gained a lot more attention when that drama happened.

Yea, that's the only bit I knew of, otherwise it seems to be a less capable version.

I use a lot of what ST-Fork does - it moved sync rules into individual sync jobs, which I really need.

Seems like the bruha has settled down at this point.

But I keep Resilio around on all my devices just in case. And if I have to I could revert to power hungry tools like Foldersync.
