Mendeley isn't as pretty as BibDesk since it isn't Mac-native, but I think it might be better. Much better importing, and the bulk-editing feature is nice too. Note that I'm actually a unix geek (hence the Emacs, LaTeX, fink, etc.). This isn't Mac-centric, it is just that Macs are currently the nicest way to run unix. Links to Mendeley added.

Thanks also for including Mendeley as a paper management tool. Would you consider hyperlinking the mention in your post above to http://mendeley.com? Thanks again and all the best!
