SyncEvolution isn't actually hard to configure. But it requires the creation of a specific directory structure (unter ~/.sync4j) and the manual editing of configuration files. This is somewhat a hurdle for less tech-savvy users when getting started with SyncEvolution. (It also took me some time before I decided to use SyncEvolution because I found that config-file stuff not very appealing.) Genesis 0.2 is an attempt to change that. It now includes a configuration wizard that helps you create your initial setup.

I have recently started to use SyncEvolution. This is a commandline driven SyncML client that allows you to synchronize your Evolution data (appointments, addresses, tasks) with a SyncML server like Scheduleworld. I like this concept, because it is based on open standards and free software, and I think this is a better approach than the proprientary client APIs that, for example, Google provides.
Now it's relatively easy to set up and use syncevolution. You have to edit some config files, but they are well documented and easy to understand. And you have to execute a simple command to perform the actual synchronization. Plus, you get detailed information about the actual process. But I mostly don't need that much information (except in the case of failure), and I don't want to open up a terminal every time I sync my data. So I decided to write a simple, small GUI in PyGTK.
