It uses SQLite--Stephen: I'd consider myself a
plaintext-whenever-possible sort of dude too; but,
SQLite (used in ZOTERO) is a simple/short C program and its (last time
I checked) extremely simple--for example there is only "left outer
join".
SQLite "databases" are very easy to work with and are often 1 simple,
small, very portable file.
I was reading some article yesterday: SQLite was ranked #1 in the top
ten best/most useful software of all time.
I understand your concern; and, often an SQL database is overkill and
"NOSQL" seems in vogue right now--but SQLite is something you might
really like--you can manipulate SQLite databases easily, like
plaintext.
I just tried ZOTERO too--very impressive. I'm a lot more used to
using BibTeX though--which is purely plaintext; but, BibTeX can be a
typing chore!
