[ Now if only I could persuade myself that BS offered a crucial advantage over GV at the early stages of project planning… ]

In addition to Stephen Diamond’s comments to Ted Goranson ( http://www.atpm.com/10.09/e-mail.shtml ) about the unique features available in certain Windows outliners, here is my personal list:

- Software assisted clones (Namesakes): the program recognises identical entries and links them together
- Focused operation: like Hoist and Collapse collaborating
- Intuitive Mark and Gather reorganisation
- Unrestricted Undo, tens of thousands of levels etc

Overall, I find that Brainstorm is a discrete but powerful tool that doesn’t get in the way of your creative thinking and offers a straightforward approach to organising and re-organising.

In sorts, precisely what I myself had been looking for in the initial brainstorming / planning stages. Then, to get a bird’s eye view of the data, I just Select All / Copy / Paste to Freemind and get a full mind map of the data.
