Buggy, Buggy, Buggy – Mendeley (PDF Reader) Review

How is it that Mendeley gets buggier with every update--maintenance or otherwise? The idea for this application is perfect, and the execution, far from it. The latest and greatest errors one can expect from this update: annotations and highlights duplicating and duplicating again, so that one is inundated with many multiples of one's original marks on a document. And, of course, the "notes" section continues to ignore line breaks. Why anyone would pay for this service is beyond me. Update: Again, a maintenance update that offers none of the necessary maintenance. All of the above errors continue to persist. The notes feature, to boot, is now hidden in the editing window for documents. The Mendeley Team is highly invested in improving the 'network' aspects of their application: sharing documents/annotations, etc. They apparently forget, in the process, that the application must be nigh-perfect in individual use before any social use becomes meaningful.
