Freeplane (it's predecessor, Freemind tops the AlternativeTo list) is a cheap (i.e. free) alternative, in terms of being able to drag and drop links into a hierarchy, where you can further organise the nodes, annotate them, and even link them to each other.
Perhaps less obviously, but ConnectedText can also be used for this purpose, with the usual caveats (learning curve, wiki markup etc.). Manfred Kuehn discusses how CT can be used to emulate TheBrain (somewhere on his blog or on the CT forum, I can't remember exactly).
I am thinking about buying TheBrain only to use its great file
management capabilities (mind mapping features, although great too,
aren't necessary for my work).
