Most useful. I've just checked this comparison table (http://www.burioni.it/forum/ors-bfs.htm) made by Franscesco Dell'Orso, and I must say I'm very impressed. This is very good work. It's a must to see. Reading the table, Procite appears to be technically dominant compared to EndNote in almost all aspects. Still, numerous features are still missing from ProCite, and the comparison table shows clearly what are its strengths and what can be improved. Three "Bravo" for Franscesco. 8-) This said, how do people feel about RIS buying its competitor ? It seems to me that the market of bibliographical software is now almost a monopoly... Do you believe that this dominance will eventually be beneficial or detrimental for users in the long run ? My own feeling ? Well, there are now more than ever room for increased standardization and integration (files, record, export, etc.), enhanced technical capabilities (more money on R&D and localization/internationalization of products), and improved technical support (more staff). It creates great hopes. On the other hand, I still have to be convinced that the lack of competition won't make the company the rest on its laurels. I mean, we are still waiting the company to tackle important issues and concerns that were raised long ago in the 3.x version, were supposed to be solved in the 4.x version and now seem to be delayed up to the we-do-not-know-when 5.x version. Last fall, we heard rumors about an upcoming 5.0 version, but back then RIS would decline to give any information, fearing "competition". Now that there's virtually no competition anymore, will the (new) company be more proactive ? I can only hope so. We'll see. What about your feelings ?
