I would like to point out another very efficient outlining tool :
For structured thinkers, it does a great job.

Have you compared aibase to Axon Idea Processor (http://web.singnet.com.sg/~axon2000/), a somewhat similar program?

I recently discovered that, after a 3-year hiatus, Aibase 3 came out last year, and the app has had several updates since then. I had always found it intriguing although I never ended up using it much. Think I’ll take it for another spin…

Interesting… Let us know what you think about it. The key question for me regarding this type of software is whether it is a thinking tool or a presentation tool.
The former need to be fast and easy enough to use for conceptual development (e.g. VUE, CMapTools, Scapple etc.) If not, they fall under the latter category (e.g. SmartDraw), i.e. for creating pretty charts to be used in presentations or publications.

I can confirm that 7 years later I have found nothing else like it; I can think of many uses for it, yet I am unlikely to find the time to learn it anytime soon. I tend to think that the more powerful the tool, the steepest the learning curve; Aibase, Emacs org-mode, InfoQube, Zoot, ...
