Endnote vs The Rest

There is an interesting post here about using Endnote (or not):

together with a lengthy discussion in the comments.

Endnote seems to have a bad reputation for occasionally messing up long documents, leaving a 'references-off-by-one' error, which is referred to int he post and comments.

I have not ever seen this error, so could anyone who does experience it let me know, please? Anecdotal evidence suggests that it happens when a long document scan for citations is cancelled, but I have not managed to reproduce it.

Aside from that, one of the outcomes of the discussion is that choice of reference management software is highly personal.

And finally, I have to add that lots of people do complete their theses happily while using Endnote....
