why should I move out of LyX to edit my Bib files?
Because, as I said, you *don't* need to edit your bib files. You
can have a program (if your OS is multitasking) to make bib
database for you, by downloading all the data from the internet.
Do you browse the web also from LyX, or you have to move out of it
perhaps?
Ok now I see your point! Nevertheless the fact that you must be
available to have your references from internet doesn't seem to be
always right for me, in several cases what you have are the articles
because you have the magazine or the authors sent them to you, and
then your approach isn't good at all. This is why LyX should have a
reference manager. However if you get all your article from internet
then you can use your approach. It's a matter of users choice and
possibilities, and LyX should fit to every user need.
I think Philip's point was simply that there are many tasks you don't use LyX
for. Browsing the web or checking your email are two of them; managing your
bibtex files could be another. I might have missed the beginning of this thread
but, when you have used JabRef or some such, what have you found missing?

This is the first time I've heard about JabRef, but if it is that nice
then it should be integrated into LyX as Gnumeric is
