is Scapple the best for "thinking on paper"

“Thinking Space”? I don’t know what that means but there are two separate genres of software which should not be confused. One is “Mind Map” and I believe lit&latte do not call Scapple a MindMap due to the non-hierarchical aspect.

There is a second genre separate from MindMaps, some call it White-Board some Cork-Boards some Stickies (M3, Yellow etc), some Index-Cards etc. I call this second genre “Virtual Boards”. These are quite different and I do not confuse them with MindMaps which have a fairly defined definition consensus though some still disagree on that, avoiding a mental hodgepodge of comparative reviews across 2 separate genres.

After testing numerous options, I settled on a few “Virtual Boards” tools and even then, each to suit the task at hand. Can’t afford to over-generalize there either. Horses for courses.
