TheBrain is a Java JAR with XML for the data stores. Not a great combo for heavy volumes of data—either for individual elements or in the aggregate. Java field management is error-prone and error recovery is difficult. They would have to change the architecture radically, which is probably not a reasonable development investment.

I have a Pro license. Correspondence with TheBrain sales support led me to suppose that there will be no Pro-to-Pro upgrades from V7 to V8—although their V8 pricing page suggests otherwise, the rep thought that might change when the final V8 release is up for sale.
