Makes sense. By 'complex' are you referring to the complexity for the user in setting up and executing the sync, or the 'behind the scenes' complexity?

I have not yet moved to iCloud, but for me, MobileMe has kept my address book in sync across multiple computers and devices for years, very transparently. 'It just works.'

I would be interested to hear from Lion users who have had good experiences keeping address books in sync with iCloud. How complex is it for the user?

Thanks!
