By that logic we wouldn't use LibreOffice either. I agree with you that
any such project needs to aim for a "zero effort" migration path from
other systems to LibreOffice, much like it is for Zotero. That situation
can only improve as adoption grows, which will need your support and
vote. We can't cite current limitations as a reason to not go for it,
though. When the gains and (monetary, among  others) impacts to switch
are enough, financing the effort to reach such "zero effort" for
end-users becomes possible, particularly in large deployments.

That would be most useful. I would add the suggestions I made in a
previous post so they aren't lost in conversation :)
