Every OS I've ever used has a simple file copy command line that will work for any ereader that uses mass storage. Mac OS might need something extra for MTP, but Windows and Linux can copy to MTP devices in a console (command line).

Looks like you are either did not read what the tool does or missing a point a bit: none of the tools you describe keep meaningful history which could be used on the next step. None of the tools you mentioned is a content specific bidirectional sync as none of them knows about page indexes or thumbnails. Each requires knowledge of where device is mounted. And MTP support on Windows in powershell from command line is not for the faint hearted.
Getting a bit defensive here, sorry: I did not suggest that other tools are bad, I did not call folks to abandon what they do, I merely suggested that for some this tool may be useful. No more, no less.
A person capable of implementing MTP initiator for bidirectional sync on at least 2 platforms surely knows how to use other tools, thank you very much. I was expecting complete ignore (fair), satisfied with my day to day (also fair), but not lectures on how to use copy in posix shell...
