I've always had the same impression: most of us use LaTeX, although I  
now know of at least four on this list who don't.

Some people avoid BD because of the BibTeX/LaTeX association, but I  
think it's useful as a general purpose reference manager because of  
the searching/ranking/grouping/filing features, and we shouldn't  
forget that.  I think the UI is better than most of the other tools as  
well.
