The way mind maps are structured is perfect for the way I think and organize my throughts.

No drill down, no map from topic but most of all - No split boundaries within category levels, this is my most required feature for demonstrating hierarchies. Surely this can be acheived. Tech support were unhelpful when I tried to get information on this.

What I like best about XMind is that it allows me to create these awesome sequence mind maps that help me in my day-to-day activities. It is also good for students who are doing cycles as this helps a lot. The application is super cool and it's you can use...

It is very difficult to arrange a large mind map in such a way that it isn't messy or confusing as to what links up where. The program won't also let me put things in an orderly fashion the way I wish to see them.
