Depending on the database of another tool is just asking for trouble. Whenever Kovid makes changes to the table structures, it'll fuck up your library. And a lot of people probably don't do regular backups. I forget about backups, half the time.

Calibre isn't that complicated, either. It has a lot of buttons and dropdowns, but if you just keep in mind what you want to achieve with it, and use the comprehensive online-help, you'll always get Calibre to do what you want it to do. And if I can't figure it out, mobileread forums will help me do it.

Also, if you need a streamlined tool that is multi-user compatible, just use Calibre-web. At least it's mature and doesn't crash. Come to think of it, what are the advantages of Citadel if we already have Calibre-web?
