BrainstormSW updates or alternatives

I’m in a constant state of CRIMP…

But I find myself returning to 2 tools when I really need to get stuff done.

1) OPML Outliner. Or any simple, 1 pane outliner.
2) BrainstormSW

Brainstorm fits how my mind works perfectly.

I love splitting panes on the fly and simultaneously working on different sections.
However, I don’t like being stuck on a PC and relying on importing/exporting constantly.

What’s the closest software to Brainstormsw?
Workflowy looks okay, but doesn’t “feel” the same.

Would love to find something with these criteria:

1. Feels like BrainstormSW (hoisting, splitting panels, linking to other sections quickly, etc)

2. Can also feel like an outliner. (Can collapse subsections, instead of hoisting)

3) Saves the files in plaintext if possible. (Like Listacular)

4) Can sync via saving in Dropbox folder.

5) Has a client on different platforms. (PC, iOS, Android, etc)

Lots to ask for!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
