I’ve never used XMind long enough to run into these problems, but just like with MindGenius (which I’ve only just looked at on its website) and other business-orientated mind mappers, what puts me off is the interface. They just seem unnecessarily busy with colour and features. When I discovered Freemind, and then Freeplane, the minimalist interface was such a relief!
