As someone who's using a Zune (well, a few) and an iPod Touch, I couldn't disagree more! When I dock my Zune, here's what happens because the software scans different folders on my PC/network looking for new stuff:
1) I automatically get all new music that I've added within the past 60 days
2) I automatically get new photos that I've taken within the past 60 days
3) I automatically get anything in the hard rock category put onto my Zune
That's a *GREAT* sync experience.
The iPod? I get nothing at all because the piece of crap program won't monitor my music folder. I'm adding music from various sources - Amazon.com MP3s, Zune Marketplace MP3s, ripped CDs - and iTunes stupidly thinks that it's the only place that someone would POSSIBLY add music from.
Now it may be that the Zune ratings system is too binary - you either like it, are neutral, or don't like it - but I've gotten used to it. I don't see much of a difference between liking a song and REALLY liking a song - both are songs you want to here right?
So I'll take the Zune software over iTunes any day of the week...
