Seem like one of the better mindmapping programs. I wonder a bit about its longevity, as it recently dropped its price about $100.

Stephen Z.,
You’ll be pleased to know that Xmind’s recent update supports better exchange of files with Mind Manager:
http://mindmapping.typepad.com/the_mind_mapping_software/2008/04/xmind-2008-v23.html
Here’s a reason why this could be useful: web publishing and editing of mind maps, a free (beta) service that can load/save Mind Manager files (also Freemind). It is available here:
http://www.mind42.com/
I tried it out and I admit I found it very powerful, fast and easy to use. I hope it gets out of beta soon so I can use it professionally.
