Anyone else enjoying Freeplane?

I’ve been using FreePlane preview versions for a few months. Find the preview version here: http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/preview/
The preview versions are very stable and offer MANY more features than the release version. I highly recommend trying this application.

I now use it as one of my primary data-sorting and categorizing tool.
Recently I started using it to take notes when I read books- the visual map and train-of-thought becomes clearer with a mind-map and I’m able to review major ideas in a book very quickly.

Freeplane will soon be the foundation for a plugin made by open source SciPlore team that integrates mind mapping with reference and pdf management

I’m impressed with this application and even more impressed by the speed at which it is developing. New versions are released every few weeks.
