But I really liked XMind to the point that I upgraded to XMind 7 Pro. I continue to find new ways to use the software.

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.
