This claim in Kitchin's summary surprised me:

"It comes down to org-ref using bibtex/biblatex as the predominant 
citation processor, and org-cite using CSL. These two processors 
have different syntaxes, and I don't think it is possible to have 
a single approach that works for both of them without making 
compromises in capability."

I wonder what are the "compromises in capability" required to 
support both?

I haven't found them yet, though I'm just now finishing old 
projects started prior to the release of org-cite and haven't 
worked through a LaTeX export project with it.  My first, and so 
far only, project with org-cite was for a simple html-based 
presentation using CSL, and I was pleased with the results and 
relative ease of setup.

All the best,
Tom
