I tried a lot of mind mapping software. In Wikipedia is a very good overview of all kinds.
For free software FreeMind seems to be the reference, a good software with all im- and exports, but no handling of lots of topics by cut and paste and no “properties”.
For buying, MindManager pro seems to be the reference. It has a lot of features. But it’s user interface is not windows – conform, so I don’t like it.
For me I prefer XMIND, its very easy to use and powerful. It has cut and paste, powerful printing and you can associate topics. But has not the import I searched (vers. 2.0.2), only FreeMind and MindManager file type. So I did not find a way to export, handle my data with other programs, and reimport them. Also I didn’t find a way to print drill down maps. But besides this, for me it’s the best.

In the evening or night, alone naked with rain, wind and light fog, it’s so near to nature, to power, to your very own self – it’s amazing. Best I like doing this high up in the mountains or on a cliff at the see. The air is so clear! It’s worth every time!
