I am exactly your use-case. Was using RIF, then I've been using Jerboa up until Sync was released. I never used Sync for Reddit.
My opinion on the two differs from yours, however. Sync seems SO much better than Jerboa to me. Yep, the font was small but I was able to embiggen it. Everything else seems faster and more intuitive. Jerboa was so buggy for me.
Jerboa was a bit buggy initially, but the only bug I've experienced recently was trying to expand hidden comments in a post with a ton of comments. That caused it to crash. It is slow to load some days, but I've been caulking that up to a slow instance. I could see how an app could work around that problem by not loading the slow instance but that seems... non ideal? Better CX sure, but it means different users would see different content based on what app they're using.
