To be sure, Brainstorm is a great program. It also has some similarities with outliners.

But is it an outliner? I don’t think so. From their own Website: “Unlike outliners, there is no concept of headings and notes, all entries (apart from the overall Title) are equal. This makes grabbing information from external sources a breeze. BrainStorm provides a variety of methods, but the best is probably Magic paste.” etc., etc.

At best, it’s “a different kind of outliner.” To say that it defines the core functions of an outliner is therefore a bit misleading.
