With rsync, one is the master.  All destinations will be made to match the
master.

With unison, the source and destination file timestamps are compared.  You
have a GUI showing which is newer and the option to copy the newer over the
older, reverse the copy or skip the file.

I use unison to sync ~/bin between home and work because I might add/change
files in either location.  Unison helps me keep both ~/bin matching.

To do that with rsync, I'd have to do all my editing on the master & rsync
the other to match whenever I made a change.
