Thanks Steve, I really appreciate the detailed breakdown. It puts TheBrain in new light for me. In the past I wa...
In the meantime I've also come across Joe Pairman's online Workflowy OPML converter (which I'm too scared to try, as my Workflowy data is all very personal stuff):

I should also add the ability to annotate any item (any link to a file), which can also be done in Freeplane.
