"Powerful, Effective, Extensive Plugin Support."
Version: Zotero 2.1.8
Pros
It rocks. It's a great way to collect information, resources, and do it quickely and effectively. It has an amazing tagging system, automatic bibliographic setup, notes, attachements, etc.
Cons
Although an intuitive interface, any program this powerful will take a bit to learn, and use effectively. But I'm talking take ten minutes to get the hang of it, not much longer.
Summary
It's powerful flexible, and extensible. I don't even use it for scholarly research or bibloigraphic notations, and it's still incredibly useful! There's tons of plugins to extend features, and the program is well maintained and updated. I haven't tried every tool of the sort in this area, but of the several I tried, this seemed the most thorough, effective, powerful, and flexible.
