"Works with TeX, generates .bib, pipelines LyX, great!!"
Version: BibDesk 1.5.3
Pros
Many, many features allow sorting or searching against all attributes. Updates have links to external databases, and can grab the references in .ris format.
Cons
What seems to work best for archives is a single .bib file, but now mine is over 1000 items. Occasionally, it just winks out. There are some "quirks" with importing entries, but this process has been smoother on recent updates.
Summary
I used to edit .bib files in a text editor. BibTeX let me forget those days!

I guess that since its so good, no one writes a thing ... so I just felt like giving this software 5 stars while I am downloading the update. -
"Excellent freeware BibTeX data base manager."
Version: BibDesk 1.4
Pros
Used it on two book projects and BibDesk is an excellent freeware BibTeX data base manager.
Cons
Nothing worth noting
Summary
Excellent freeware BibTeX data base manager.

Even 1.2 was almost perfect, this version has some cool new features (direct import from PubMed, for example works great for me) -
"yes"
Version: BibDesk 1.2.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
If you use BibTex you need this program.
If you don't, you need to use bibtex so you can use this program.
Anyone who uses LaTeX at all. This makes references management a breeze. I don't know how I would get along without it.
Thanks. -
"Great application"
Version: BibDesk 1.2.5
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Makes the usually annoying tasks of arranging references, related pdf files and urls, and the writing of the bibtex file into pleasure. The recent features of importing/exporting various formats and automatic cite key generation are great. The recent versions are very stable. The price is great too. -
"perfect"

Summary

BibDesk is the perfect tool for writers especially in science and the arts. Have seen nothing better on all plattforms. -
"Great application"
Version: BibDesk 1.1.6
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
As a PhD student in finance, I've found BibDesk indispensable. It auto-files journal articles, generates cites, and helps me keep track of what I've read/annotated. Without it, I'd be significantly less productive and organized. -
"Wonderful!"
Version: BibDesk 1.0RC2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
If you use BibTex you should absolutely get this. Best analogy I can think of is iTunes for references (including managing files in an intelligent way). -
"99.2 just released. Everything seems to work great!"
Version: BibDesk 0.99.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I particularly like the preview feature in the new version.
The product seems ready for a 1.0 release. Great work!
