I think there are only three that meet your specifications: NoteMap 2 (http://www.casesoft.com); Inspiration; and MS Word.

NoteMap is the more powerful outliner and probably has features comparable to Nota Bene, from the little I recall second-hand. What it doesn’t have that you might want is a distinction within the outliner between text and headings. You can use the comment cards for text, but without formatting and text-manipulation options.

Inspiration notably lacks a hoist command, but does have a text/heading distinction. It has a major feature you may or not want, the ability to graphically represent an outline.

You are probably already familiar with the outliner in Word. While the least ergonomic and least powerful of the three, it has one very nice additional feature that standalone outliners should emulate: the ability to turn formatting of headings on and off with one click.
