I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It's stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

I used Jerboa until Sync came out.

I liked it fine, no specific complaints I guess except that there was a lot of "jank" for lack of a better word. It just behaved weirdly sometimes, would be unstable, and had odd interfaces for certain tasks.

I would not actively recommend against it, but Sync came along and felt like someone refined Jerboa. It was an easy and natural switch.

Yes this is my main complaint too with Jerboa, scrolling just feels sluggy, I tried to look into the issue/source-code, but couldn't find the source of it. When Sync came out, everything was buttery smooth and I was sold (though I'm not the biggest fan of the interface, maybe I'll switch to an open-source client again, when there's a more robust less sluggish client again).
