There is no compelling reason that I would not use
Zotero, except now it only offers a handful of output
styles and no way to (easily) customize styles. 
Therefore, it is not much of a time saver at this
point.  Maybe I need to spend more time learning
Zotero.  It looks very promising though.

I'm convinced that there will be an open source way to
do this in the future that works as well as EndNote. 
Journal formatting styles are not a moving target.  It
seems like developers of Zotero or Openoffice will get
there eventually.  The EndNote ODT support seems like
a good stopgap.  My first choice would be an open
source way of doing bibliographies, but I need to have
it do the formatting styles I need to save time.
