In addition, Zotero users often organize their references using collections, tags, and "related" (and the first two I find essential, both with Zotero itself and when using Zotero in a tablet). Some of these (e.g., collections, tags) might be synced/translated from BibTeX into Zotero though not always reliably. And trying to get these to work reliably is probably too much work.
