No, it is not just command line based, there is a GUI. If you are after a windoze version, it is at: http://www-stud.robinson.cam.ac.uk/~mob22/unison/ I tried it. It is a standalone GUI, and not integrated into the Windows explorer not exactly what you wanted). But it works pretty well, especially if you tend to sync the same pairs of directories, because it lets you create "profiles". Now that I've tried it, it will be a "keeper" for me for synchronizing My Documents on my standard-issue laptop with the Samba server. It does a two-way sync. There is no installation script, just run the program. The Windows GTK .DLL has to be in the same directory as the executable, or at least in your path.
I haven't used it, but how about "Unison"? http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/
