I just don’t particularly like BibDesk. It doesn’t feel like a useful program to me–this is entirely a style thing, though. Furthermore, I like Zotero’s ability to read my university’s library catalog webpage. It just feels faster–though the payoff is having to reformat a non-trivial amount every time I export.

I’ll check out Ulysses.

I recently took another look at <a href="http://www.blue-tec.com/ulysses/" rel="nofollow">Ulysses</a> and now that I have decided to go LaTeX, it seems to me that you might want to give this a good look as well. It has far less features then Scrivener, granted, but it seems to me that we have similar working-styles and needs and you might find that less is more here as well. The conversion to LaTeX is really more straightforward in my view. Just a thought.

I am using basically the same workflow, and you are doing all the hard work of figuring the details out for me, so thanks ;-) While I also really am intrigued by Zotero, I am not quite convinced, that it really is easier in your workflow, since you (like me) use DTP for the "storing" of information and only use Zotero as a bib tool. Why not use <a href="http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">BibDesk</a>? It's fantastic, versatile, free, and highly supported by a very active user and programmer base.
