But Synergy is now commercial, with a stupid surcharge for TLS, so would it make more sense to say "the only reason to use synergy is if you're using an old OS and don't have hi-DPI screens"?

No, you're thinking of the Synergy 2.x codebase. No one uses that and it's why Barrier exists. But Synergy 1.x is open and free as in freedom.

Gotcha, thanks. I used to use Synergy 1.x, and it was great. Recently returned to the fray and didn't have time to build-from-source (or didn't find an easy 1.x installer for new OS X) so grumble-grumbled and paid for Synergy 2. and expensed it.
