What do you use now? Is there something better?
I don't know any better tool. JabRef seems great.

Long ago (when I was still using JabRef) I was thinking about creating support for export into ConTeXt-specific format.
What a teaser! So if you're not using JabRef now, what are you using and why?
Eeeeem ... vim (or TextMate), but I guess that's not the answer you were expecting. As for the "why" part: 1.) I don't have too many references to manage/work with. 2.) One of the reasons for not actually writing support for ConTeXt output in JabRef was that ConTeXt is able to read bib files; and one of the reasons why I started using just plain text editor was that JabRef didn't create such a ConTeXt-friendly format. 3.) Until 2005 I was more heavily engaged in the field where almost every article I had to cite was in PubMed which is no longer true. JabRef has an enourmous added value when one needs to use citeseer or PubMed. What I would need now would be DOI2bib converter. As soon as the time spent on copy-pasting data from article web pages to bib files will outweight the time spent writing the converter, I'll probably start writing one (but that still won't be comparable with JabRef). What still makes me wonder is tha fact that there are problems with Unicode. I don't remember any, though I admit that I'm not sure if I ever cited any non-English item. Mojca
