With the resurrection of the topic, I had a look at this. It seemed very attractive until I looked at the screenshots under User Stories. I had expected it to be much more visual than 2D mindmaps, but it is actually much less - everything is represented as a pseudo-3D triangle/cone/pyramid. Just a slightly graphical frontend to a database. I'm as happy as anyone to deal with pure data, but the point of mindmapping to me is to see more possibilities and different types of links by seeing/thinking visually.
It would be nice if there were anyone around who actually uses it and can say why I'm wrong.
