I use `org-cite` with a very minimal configuration, and it works very well. I 
don't use `ivy` at all. I don't use `helm` at all. Those are very large 
framework and should not be forced to people. (I don't use `org-ref`.)

I only use `citar` with minimal configuration. I use `vertico` for the 
completion. `citar` is simple enough for me to be able to read and understand 
a large part of it.

IMO the more layers of code there are, the more difficult it is to have things 
work right. And similarly with the size of the code.

And I have `org-cite-insert` working straight out of the box.
