I think the biggest differences are in the culture and user experience. Quilt gets its DNA from the open/community-driven cultures of GitHub and npm. We want to make it extremely light-weight for anyone to push and share data packages. Synapse frankly seems to have a lot more features. We want to compete on simplicity. Does Synapse offer server-side filtering? That's something we're thinking about.

Bravo, this is an excellent strategy. I've been using NPM packages to share small datasets for a little while due to the simplicity of distribution.
