Veering somewhat OT:
Steve, agree with almost all you’ve written above, particularly the primacy of Ecco Pro. However… I would also add Tinderbox to your Mac list. Yes, expensive, complex, no columns, quite user-unfriendly, unlovely to look at some would say, above all a strange beast that is a combination of mindmap and outliner - but (in my view) very powerful. It does things no other outliner does - what other outliner (for example) allows you to categorise the links between nodes, or provides you with three or four different types of visual representation, or gives you a word-frequency cloud?
But, it is true, not of much use to lawyers, I imagine…

Not really, however the second-pane does not need to be shown. The same is true of columns. No 2nd pane, no columns, It then becomes a single-pane outliner…

I haven’t had any problems with NoteMap myself, but I haven’t tried adding a lot of text to a single topic and I rarely export any of my outlines to Word. I still think that it’s the best basic outliner I’ve seen so far. Very ergonomic and easy to use. I like it because it’s simple with a clean interface. Too expensive, though. It’s definitely overpriced.

Gary, I didn’t have any problems with lost text either, UNTIL I started using NM in writing a book. The work-around for for the Word Export is to export to RTF and then open the RTF export in Word.
