While looks are important, it’s not the most important feature for me.
Inbox, Cha-Ching, Disco, and many other applications look great. I would not use any of these unless I was in the mood for some beta-testing.
Novamind’s integration with Merlin is anything but childish, by the way.
I do know that MindManager has integration with FastTrack Schedule, although I did not try this feature when I tried the demo.
Some of the examples in NovaMind’s site are a bit cartoonish, but that does not mean that you can’t create professional looking documents with it.
Based on visuals alone, I could also work with Curio or OmniGraffle which are great programs as well. For me it was important to have some of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ features of NovaMind, such as the aforementioned integration with Merlin.
I would recommend that people try them both, as well as Compendium and other similar applications :)
Also, in addition to the cartoonish images NovaMind’s library includes many serious looking images. For some reason the examples they chose to display in their website are the more cartoonish ones.
