Also, you may remember me being hesitant to switch to Zotero because in the past it lacked the ability to meaningfully edit saved citations and files, in particular, it would not detect from PDFs for files that you had already downloaded. It worked only well with the plugin, getting the file "fresh" from the publisher.

Mendeley's advantage was that you could just drag and drop a pdf in and it would add meta-data.

I am happy to report that Zotero does this as well now. And it works quite well, sometimes better then Mendeley.

So if that was your reason, like it was for me before I was hit with the "no export disaster", go ahead and switch.

Let Mendeley die the lonely death it deserves.
