“I will post the outcome of my question. If it is positive, I just might bite at the Bits Du Jour offer.”

IMHO, calling this program 3D is a gimmick. It doesn’t allow any other structure than what is available in 2D plane, maybe they could call it raised 2D at most. In fact this 3D obscures more than it helps, just have a look at their screenshots

For all items, there is a limited number of children it can display in this “3D”, because items on the same level are aligned in lines and rows, so if one of them has more children, they will not be visible. Try it for yourself. And more problems occur when you try to link items from different parents, becomes real mess. It simple cannot display the growing structure, bad concept from the very beginning.
