Mind mapping is in a terrible state right now, but as information work becomes the norm, the market for good mind mapping software grows!

I'm using FreeMind right now, and no disrespect to the developers but it's pretty ugly. Not that I could do better btw, but it's not pleasant to look at. The ones that do look pretty are bloody expensive. Check out MindJet's stuff. Full featured and pretty, but also 200+ bucks.

IMHO it would be great to see a mind mapping product come from OMNI. A simple app with speedy input options (enter for sibling, tab for child, etc.), and simple output options (OPML, OmniOutliner, JPG) would be killer right now. It seems to me there are free apps, the super expensive apps, and MindNode. No fancy themes or outlook plug-ins required. Just make it easy to input throughout he keyboard, arrange via mouse/trackpad, and output to something I can bring into outliner/plan and/or scrivener and the likes.

Pretty please?

Have a great day, keep up the great work Omni team!
