Could I ask you for some more advice on using Bibdesk in combination with Latex + Textmate? I'm completely new to this world so would very much appreciate any help at all.
Cheers,

It allows you to upload pdf files, and if you navigate to a journal's website you can automatically get all the details for the paper and it will assemble the bibtex for you. It's neat because I can get hold of my papers wherever I am and searching in it is nice too.
Before CiteULike I used JabRef a lot.

Another minor issue: there is no scroll left or right when browsing a webpage.
If you have lots of articles and need to work with papers for a long time, Sente is better. Otherwise, this app should work as well.

but at this point i couldn't operate efficiently without it. a "must have" if you're into refereed journal literature.
are donations accepted?

In fact, one of the best things about BibDesk is how well it integrates with Skim, the pdf reader/annotation app. Manage your database with BibDesk, double click on a pdf to open it with Skim, do all your highlighting and note taking, and when you go back to BibDesk your highlights and notes are waiting there as searchable text! In fact, it is simple to search across the entire text of a large library - searching both the text of the pdfs and your own notes.
The screenshot (maybe it is time for a new one?) really doesn't begin to show you how well this program is designed or all of the features (including integration with a number of online databases). If you're looking for anything near the bibliography/note taking realm, I strongly suggest you give BibDesk a try.

It's a deep program, with lots of features that I don't use, so it might seem a little overwhelming to the uninitiated, but it's so good that anyone who needs to manage a large bibliography--even if they don't use BibTex--really should try it out.

(I'm talking about where all of the references reside in "All Publications" and groups contain only pointers to the reference.)
Otherwise, great program. When considering price, Bibdesk is better than Endnote by a long shot.
