I completely agree.

Same here.

The big advantage of org-ref is that it builds on BibTeX. From
what I read in this and the previous thread, the new proposal
tries more or less to reimplement BibTeX in org. (If it is not so,
I apologize, because I confess that I haven't read every single
email in these two veery long threads. If you plan to use BibTeX
as a base, disregard the rest of the email).
BibTeX is IMHO one of the best pieces of software ever created. It
had a stable version from 1988 to 2010, in 2010 it was last
updated, because we started to cite with long URLs (not the norm
in 1988). It is something that just works as it is supposed to and
has all you need for creating bibliographies.
The biggest advantage of having something org/elisp native as in
the proposal would be the implementation of functions to create
bibliographies with a specific style, what Oren Patashnik called
"Bibliography-style hacking", which is very cumbersome in BibTeX
(maybe is just that I cannot read WEB/Pascal and have a strong
preference for Lisp dialects).
Just let me drop the mandatory reading:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/bibliography/bibtex/base/btxdoc.pdf
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/bibliography/bibtex/base/btxhak.pdf
and references therein.
Best,

Jorge.
