Yes. I’ve been using Brainstorm for many years and I can tell you that it is unique. For example, cross-referencing happens automatically, at least in English; just type an identical entry and it will be recognised as a ‘namesake’ (clone). Thereon you’ll be able to navigate ‘sideways’ (left-right arrow) along its various occurences.

There are other special and interesting aspects to Brainstorm, some of which are actually related to its limitations (you always work on one level, with the level above as a heading). Brainstorm has been discussed in this forum very much (its roots go back to the 80s) so I won’t go further into it here.

I haven’t yet had the time to study Cyborganize, though I found its ‘totally integrated’ approach interesting. I have two questions however:

- How is Cyborganize tied to Brainstorm in terms of marketing? Is it as a kind of cross-promotion? Will people who purchase the software get a (teaser) free webinar on Cyborganize and vice-versa?

- Are there plans for Brainstorm development? I believe that, useful as it may be, the program has currently quite a few quirks that reduce its appeal to contemporary software buyers, e.g. its read-only aerial view.
