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 the templates that they offer.

The ability to quickly drop tasks, ideas, topics on a page and manipulate them as needed

User-friendly interface and UX, in general, make excellent sense, both desktop and browser versions. XMind comes as "just register and ready to use", if only you know how to create mind maps, of course.
