When you're using double-buffering as it was originally intended, to ensure a smooth transition from frame to frame, sync-to-refresh is really the best way to go. Seems to me that most people would want things to work that way for standard applications. (Games and realtime apps need to be more sophisticated than either sync-to-refresh or no sync.) Perhaps the current problem is people just that people are using gears as a benchmark? That could easily be solved by writing a self-calibrating benchmark and promoting its use instead of gears.
