I downloaded Brainstorm recently and tried it out. Having used Grandview for so many years, I didn’t immediately find Brainstorm to offer much new - apart from being a Windows program. In particular, I wasn’t persuaded that it is easier to use or more useful than GV at the preliminary brainstorming stage. It is a lot more nimble than NoteMap, however…

It has one interesting feature, though. The “Write Textfile” exporting facility allows the creation of tab-indented text files. These can be imported perfectly by Grandview - and presumably many other outliners - as fully-fledged outlines.

Now if only I could persuade myself that BS offered a crucial advantage over GV at the early stages of project planning, it might be worth buying - despite the rather high cost…
