Not much, but then my writing is mainly non-academic. However, I use a lot of references in my work, often needing to faithfully summarise complex concepts from a variety of sources. I have thus tried some academic software in the hope that it could support my workflow—the verdict was actually disappointing, but then I am not known for my patience and perseverence.

I did my whole MBA with two programs: Surfulater for organising my background material, and Brainstorm for organising my writing; I only turned to Word when I had a final draft. Early on, I tried several other tools and purchased licenses to Endnote and IdeaMason; soon enough I dropped them though, which was a good thing; thereon I focused on the actual job.

I am now also trying out Citavi—which is Swiss, incidentally, and I’ve always had some kind of attraction to Swiss products…
