That’s good to know. But the points remain.
They’re not integrating into their online suite like Google.
The dual versions, the minimal Appy for the mass user base, is a second way of killing it off. Should be one version, online, integrated, and if monetizing, by cloud means as with Google drive premium.
Thirdly, I believe the full version development has stopped. Also no plans to integrate it into cloud as is norm for any of that genre to survive.
Like I said, I have it but won’t invest time in it because it’s not going anywhere. When they kill off something they don’t delete it and declare it dead. Actual annual development and features growth stops and if it’s cloud related to the online suite and not integrated and updated with that suite. And not updated with that online suite’s features updates, modern looks and updated user interface.
No mass distribution and contrary looking minimal app named the same and cut down. No cloud or modern version when it belongs naturally in that suite. As if all the above were not enough, dormant development, ie basically dead.
The outlook/calendar cloud suite team didn’t want it, hence the useless apps versions, constantly updated but not the elephant in the room. If they pick up development, update features, stick it on the cloud, integrate it, update it to modern looks & UI like the suite and apps, then it’s alive. I’d say there is no chance of that. It took a few years and billions of users to get Microsoft to bring back the old Win-Start button menu.
They’re urging and pushing the new appy version as the version still being updated. ie not dormant/dead. They call the old looking dead one “the legacy version”. They praise the features of the new one still being developed and why it should be used.

Yes, so I’m interested in thoughts from anyone who is using MindManager or iMindMap, etc., as a regular, ongoing part of their work planning process. I really like MindManagers’ integration with Outlook on Windows. It’s simple to use, and two-way. iMindMap has the Droptask integration which is interesting but hard to warm up to. iThoughts has a minimalist one-way todo relationship with calendars, and a recent release integrates (sort of) with Things on macOS.
I like the idea of a graphical planner (like a mind map) bridging to the hardscape of my calendars—ideally two way. Just haven’t found a robust way to do that without feeling like I’m hand hacking the whole procedure.

Zenkit is a really powerful, flexible tool that’s kanban and mindmap rolled into one. It also has list and table views as well as a calendar, but it also has integration with Google Calendar for anything with a due-date:
