Simple syncing is what ownCloud does. Of course technically a server is inbetween, so it’s not directly between devices. LAN sync is requested sometimes, but currently not a priority.
Please do let us know about the things you miss – on our issue tracker at http://github.com/owncloud/core/issues
And if you use IRC you’re welcome in #owncloud-dev (freenode).
And be sure that we have a lot of improvements lined up for ownCloud 7 which will come out in a few weeks.
EDIT: Also, if you have specific feedback on ownCloud’s usability and design let me know, I work on that.
