This may be old news, but Freemind hit the version 1.0.0 milestone 19 October 2013. I discovered this yesterday, having been discouraged at reports Freemind was no longer being developed. Here is an excerpt from the Freemind page describing the new version:

“The release has a lot of new functions (in comparison with the 0.9.0 release two years ago). Especially clones, collaboration and geographical maps are the major new functions. The most important usability addition is the spell checker (thanks to Eike). For an overview over new features, see FreeMind 1.0.0: The New Features.”

I used to be a pretty intense Freemind user. Then I moved over to Freeplane, although frankly, I don’t use that much anymore, either. But it seemed to be a better further along than Freemind. Have you compared the two? According to the sourceforge website, “Freeplane was created because of short-comings in the design of the popular open source mind mapping program Freemind. Freeplane has been refactored from Freemind to make its code and packages more modular, make it easier for new software developers to contribute to Freeplane development, and to release new versions of Freeplane more often.” There’s also this comparison of differences:

I wonder if the new version of Freemind evens things up?
