Scapple's ability to work tightly with Scrivener is its appeal. I like
VUE quite a lot and use its ability to visually display relations
contained in csv files. It is also a wonderful brainstorming and
planning tool. Dr. Andus, are you able to drag the map or selections to
the cork board in Scrivener as Scapple allows? Can you do the reverse?

Sure, if it integrates with Scrivener like that, then I can see its appeal. But I don't have a Mac and I don't tend to keep too many images in Scrivener for Win.

Instead, I save a VUE map as an image file (JPG or PNG), and then drag and drop it into ConnectedText (from my Dopus window). For just a section, it would have to be a screenshot (with Greenshot) and then do the same. It involves a few more steps but it's still fairly quick, as Dopus is always open in the background for me, as is CT. I suppose the same process could be followed with Scrivener.
