Few fantastic features it has, in that direction like auto online search for more data for existing entry. Mendeley does have very good auto-discovery solution for any PDF you put in watched folder(s). But if you're a new user, having a learning/adaptation curve to pass anyway: try something else first. I'm still using the Mendeley because I'm so used to. At least, such impression I've got from low votes on this issue on their support/suggestion issue rank list. So, you might thought that multi-display environment is common in scientific community - but no, you're wrong: apparently 99% of Mendeley users have single screen and find this show&hide game amusing. You say: ok, let's see what I was about to cite: you open Mendeley from the task bar and then: HA! the popup window is gone! Then you click "insert citation" again - and guess what: it does the same thing, with the windows again! It was all fine before but now (LibreOffice plugin): you click "insert citation" it minimizes Mendeley Desktop (!?! yes, you are at LibreOffice but for no apparent reason, it minimizes the Mendeley Desktop even it is on the second screen), opens popup window within the LibreOffice where you have to know exactly what you want to cite - but, your cursor is not refocused to the input field (HA!). Then I noticed few bugs that blown my mind. So the cloud argument: hm, proved not to be to reliable.
