Yes, exactly!!! I've been saying this for years. It's incredible that they haven't even bothered to update the website to reposition the software after Palm etc. had died. It's like they don't realise that there is a market for it, if they had just repackaged the product (like SplashNotes or StoryView did).
As I've been arguing, it has a lot of outliner-oriented features that many other contemporary outliners are still lacking:

I can understand that, considering that Noteliner, UV Outliner and TKOutline are free. But it all depends on your needs. I use Bonsai every day, as I find it the fastest outliner and list sorter, so for me it's an essential tool and IMHO it's a better value than Inspiration even at 50% off.
Unfortunately I don't get a cut for plugging it. I love this product so much, if I had the money, I'd buy the company :) But seriously, someone could make some money by just simply repositioning this product as an outliner and making a few Youtube videos on how to use it for outlining (or even as a to-do manager).
Tried Bonsai and damn, it looks like this an opportunity the developer
missed out on badly. I never really gave it a decent look because it's
marketed as the desktop component for a to-do list app on PalmOS and
Windows Mobile...

And yet, once I turn off all the task management functions that are
enabled by default, it seems to pretty much do what I want a single-pane
outliner to do.

And yet, I'm cheap and am reluctant to shell out money for what is
essentially abandonware.
