As much as I disagree with it, it's not that rare. Steam does the same erroneous distinction, as well.

Feeling "insulted" hardly seems reasonable. Perhaps better wording should be used on the site, and indeed the use of "Mac" and "PC" seem a little off, but declaring that you are insulted by the author's choice of words is more childish than constructive.

To the author: consider using OS names instead.

Maybe that should be Mac®...

It's pretty clear that PC in this context means Windows. In the install docs, they mention "Windows" by name as a section heading. It could easily be an SEO thing, having the word Windows on the landing page is bad for business.

To answer your question I think maybe yes, you are the only one.

hey, apple fanboys pay heavy upcharges for all their "not PC" devices & for that they earn the privilege of shaping the marketing vocabulary landscape XD

If you feel insulted maybe it's because you are a fanboy yourself ?

I agree it could be clearer, but insulted, really ?

The perfect use-case for this is freelance work on Elance/oDesk. Installing our application on the freelancers PC takes to much time, and using ssh/ftp is cumbersome.

Are there any other good file sync tools that work on Win/Linux/Mac? Something like rsync+inotify but with a permanent connection between client Server?

FYI: A short readelf on bowery shows that it is written in Go.
