I guess you could say I use it to manage my references. E.g. I add
references using the functions in doi-utils.el. I can search them using
helm-bibtex (which is not part of org-ref, we just use it because it is
awesome), and from that I can see groups of references with keywords,
etc... helm-bibtex provides the "table"view I think you are referring to as
a helm selection buffer. Alternatively in org-ref you could use the older
reftex interface.

When I click on a cite link, there actions available to do things like
open the entry, find related articles, etc...

(org-ref-build-full-bibliography) allows you to build a pdf version of a
bibtex file pretty conveniently.

the jmax-bibtex.el file in org-ref provides additional functionality to
clean up bibtex entries, etc...

so, it is fair to say emacs+org-ref+helm-bibtex is how I manage my
references, and use them in writing.
