... Reddit could just offer negotiation skills classes to all candidates, thus improving the lot of all, instead of reducing the playing field to the lowest common denominator.

I've seen Swiss kids go to school all by themselves - tiny little kids, huge backpacks, no parents - and everyone looks out for them. Switzerland has its faults (and a terrifying powerful currency), but , speaking as a non-Swiss, it's a truly great country. Also, good beer!
First - why db agnostic? A normal business would normally just pick one db and stick with it.
Secondly - SQLAlchemy only changes if you upgrade the version, which you never have to do.
Tryton is pretty good true enough - Odoo (from which it was forked, when Odoo was called something else) is also pretty fancy. But I think the distinction between client-server and web-based is overblown these days, the browser+javascript+html5 is pretty much the client side of things, just easier to deploy.
I'm biased towards Python - and the following suggestions have nice UIs but they are web-based - so please forgive me in advance
After years working in Siebel (UI dev tools, transparent database interface, etc) moved over to Linux dev and was stuck for a while - finally settled on Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) a Python micro-framework, which is light (i.e. not as incomprehensible as Django
Alternatively, go all ERP with lots of built in business functionality and nice UI features and try ERP Next (https://erpnext.com/) - which I'm looking at right now. It has some poor documentation, but the dev guide for the underlying framework (Frappe) is pretty clear (e.g. https://frappe.io/developers/g...) and looks less scary.
And yet the outcome is the same
I know I'll get s**t for this but
Yeah you're right - BTSync is the easiest to setup and if I hadn't worked out how to use Unison many years ago I'd probably be using it now.
Looking at one of the videos on the co's site, looks like it can be remote controlled and stabilised - seems like an ideal platform on to which to mount a police sniper and carry him/her to a target location to do the business. I guess it could lift as high a a helo so sound would not be too bad.
In fact SyncThing has recently de-merged with Pulse and is now back on it's own (see https://discourse.syncthing.ne...). Probably a good thing because Pulse is part of ind.ie (https://ind.ie/about/) which is a little too off-beat, even for me.
That being said, there's also Git-Annex Assistant (many people - on HN - swear by it, but I can never get it to work), Syncany, Filement, Sparkleshare - all decent sync solutions - though I think all lack the encryption & simple setup of BTSync.
I always end up with Unison + SSH.
