Endnote has declined drastically - jdien

Check the comments under Endnote. It's done worse than just stagnate. Version 8 was so full of bugs it is unuseable. They issued two patches for the Windows version but left the Mac users in the cold. Now they have version 9 out. Would you buy it given what happened with version 8?

database corruption? - jdien

What makes you say Bookends might suffer from database corruption issues? I haven't seen any comments to this effect. Do you have evidence for this or is this just speculation? It's a serious charge!

the current situation of bibliography management programs - bernie90210

Here are some other comments about EndNote:

1. It has a *lot* more fields than Bookends
2. The same database in Bookends is easily six times larger than the corresponding database in EndNote
3. EndNote is the only program that directly supports syncing with the Palm. EN's solution needs further development, but it's still incredibly useful.

eh? - heirtzler

I am surprised to see someone making general statements that the three progs are comparable. They clearly are not (although I don't know Senate).

While Endnote has better functionality (see my previous comments), in terms of user support & Mac updates, it is awful.

Bookends does not have those limitations at all, although the functionality leaves something to be desired.

It would be much easier for the BE author to add some of the correct functionality than for EN/Mac to overcome an unhelpful corporate culture.
