Okay, then I should definitely take a look at JabRef. Anyhow, maybe I'm
naive here, but I don't see a reason why Zotero should support BibTeX
Strings. If I type the BibTeX file manually, sure. But Zotero reads the
(e.g.) Journal names from the corresponding websites, so there should be
no need to replace those with abbreviations. Is it because I don't
understand BibTeX strings?
Does JabRef offers synchronisation (e.g. WebDAV) between different machines?

I tried Mendeley some time ago. It's standalone but sill quite similar to Zotero.
"Browser-integration" works via a special bookmark. It also has an embedded
pdf-viewer, which is very neat. Reason for changing to Zotereo were some strange
bibtex-export issues, where the bibtex file got messed up and had to be readjusted
manually.
I find Zotero useless for my work with ConTeXt. You cannot have
cross-references within your bibliographic items, and it is impossible to have
proper markup in bibliographical items. For me, both are absolute killer
arguments; I cannot work with zotero. And the bibtex export sucks; important
features such as bibtex strings are not supported. So I would actually
recommend jabref if you need a cross-platform tool or bibdesk if you're using
OS X exclusively. Regarding a system when you write your context files: I use
Emacs, and I haven't seen anything more powerful or more convenient than reftex
(which also works with context, after a few tweaks in your configuration file).
