Okay, then I should definitely take a look at JabRef. Anyhow, maybe I'm
naive here, but I don't see a reason why Zotero should support BibTeX
Strings. If I type the BibTeX file manually, sure. But Zotero reads the
(e.g.) Journal names from the corresponding websites, so there should be
no need to replace those with abbreviations. Is it because I don't
understand BibTeX strings?
Does JabRef offers synchronisation (e.g. WebDAV) between different machines?

Reason for changing to Zotereo were some strange bibtex-export issues, where the bibtex file got messed up and had to be readjusted manually.

For me, both are absolute killer arguments; I cannot work with zotero. And the bibtex export sucks; important features such as bibtex strings are not supported. So I would actually recommend jabref if you need a cross-platform tool or bibdesk if you're using OS X exclusively. Regarding a system when you write your context files: I use Emacs, and I haven't seen anything more powerful or more convenient than reftex (which also works with context, after a few tweaks in your configuration file).
