The main question is whether calling Bibdesk has any advantages compared to the approach I outlined above, and whether the approach above misses something. Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Well, the one advantage it does have is that you don't have to create the bib file to get a reference from bibdesk. It's a minor thing, but often when I'm writing I end up adding a number of new references to my database, and generally doing so on the fly as I write. By calling bibdesk, I can get those new references without having to generate the bib file until I'm ready to compile the paper with the references in place.
It's not big, but it's something.
