Steve Z, you said:

“At this point, however, I can’t keep working in Brainstorm, because it isn’t an ideal environment for the task of actually composing writing (or re-writing existing text). NoteMap is better, but I’m most likely to dump it all into a word processor. However, at that point, I lose the ability to quickly re-organize the contents—one of the drawbacks from using a multi-applicaiton approach.”

I think you hit it on the head here. If Brainstorm gave one the choice of the present aerial view, or that of a more interactive outline view - the aerial view, but in which it was editable, interactive (such that the highlighting changed according to where one was working in the other window) - i think one wouldn’t need so much another application such as NoteMap (for this usage, at least).
