Your choice of mind mapping software

Interesting topic Graham

I do my brainstorming in text mode, using an outlining program. However, I do find it useful to then switch the view to a graphical one and observe the connections and patterns. I might edit a little in graphical mode and then go back to text.

Consequently, the ability to toggle between so-called outliner text and mind map is important for me.

So far, I’m aware of only 2 programs that do this in a more than rudimentary way - Mind Manager (version 6) and Inspiration. I would dearly love to use Inspiration but it is a bit clunky and really designed for another market. So I use Mind Manager - a behemoth for sure.

I’m interested in other programs that have this toggling ability.
