The pros and cons of the “all-in-one” tools vs. “the right tool for the right job” is a recurrent topic on this forum. Is there something specific you are looking for? There are quite a few outliner tools out there even for Windows. This list has hundreds:

As for CT, although its single-pane Outliner tool might appear too basic (it can do hoisting though), it’s part of a broader set of tools that allow you to construct more complex (dual-pane etc.) outlining systems that do offer cloning and tagging. Steve’s post offers some examples:

Just to mention that I have asked Oliver (that is now responsible for BrainstormSW) about future developments; this was his answer:
“re. updates, I regret to say there is no plan in place. At this stage, the goal is to support BrainStorm users, redo the website and renew the forum. Fortunately, BrainStorm in its current state remains viable and when funding and resources become available, upgrade its look and feel while maintaining its functionality.”
Oliver could open a kickstarter project; I would back it.
