As simple as Flipaclip and has some more advanced functions if desired, but they don't get in the way of it being easy to navigate.

Synfig is way complex - anyone putting that as an alternative to Flipaclip is just loose a screw or four. Flipaclip has one of the easiest to use interfaces around and Synfig.... just doesn't.
