I used some of the very first and have quite forgotten all their names - Brown Bag Software is one of them I think, so too is PC Outline. I loved them.

Yes, outliners are everywhere in modern Windows software but none of them do what the old stuff did for me. A simple(?) port of Grandview to Windows would be wonderful. I followed the correspondence around Symnatec’s promises to do something with it for a while then lost heart.

I built a career with the help of being the first kid on the block to use an outliner - I was so much better organised than the competition! Mind map stuff has got lost in Academia - I do use Vismap but it has not kept up - so there is a marketing opportunity I feel.

I would put real money - not too much - on the table if someone with the skills and the energy to develop a real Windows, dedicated outliner were to emerge.
