most facile outliner

I don’t particularly dislike Brainstorm. I used to use it all the time. It’s an odd kind of outliner, though, that only lets you view one level of an outline at a time. If I remember correctly, Brainstorm’s aerial view lets you see everything, but it’s not editable. Could be wrong about that, though. I haven’t used Brainstorm in years.

Maybe Brainstorm shouldn’t be classified as an outliner, but a different kind of tool altogether. It’s LIKE an outliner in some ways, but maybe it would be more accurate to call it a “thought processor” or something like that.
