What are these tools for? I haven’t been able to get much of a sense of that from their web sites.
My collection of papers amounts to about 1600 in 2.4GB, and I keep track of them by putting them roughly into folders for different topics, and maintaining a plain text file of minimal bibliographic details—filename, title, URL, authors, and whatever notes I’ve made about them, sorted in order of addition to the collection, most recent first. Text search takes care of finding stuff. I use git to synchronise the library among a few different computers. I don’t seem to have any need that any of these tools would be an answer to.
But perhaps there is a need that I do not know I have. If you were an honest salesman for one of these tools, how would you sell it to me?
