My oldest non-updated outliner software I still use (in Win7) are not that old, but here they are:
StoryView 2.0 - 2001 (a later version, Outline 4D is from 2009, but it’s practically identical and I prefer to use StoryView for its look).
Natara Bonsai - 2009
Surfulater - 2012
ConnectedText - 2015 (I still have hope that CT is not completely abandoned yet)

Natara Bonsai provides a perfect example of why one might actually want to purchase software that will no longer be developed or supported by the author. It is still perfectly functional, and probably will be for many years to come, but when I encountered a problem a few years ago for which it would have been the ideal solution, I found out that I could not acquire it at all.

Does ShadowPlan from CodeJedi count?
Not the oldest by far, yet ‘cross platform’ WinXP and Palm3 (now E2) that I still use on daily basis. Have not found anything on a handheld platform that performs as well.

Not sure how I missed this app. I was a big Palm fan back in the day, but Bonsai and SplashNotes are the outliners I remember coming across.
How is the ShadowPlan desktop companion for Windows? Is it on par in terms of sophistication with Bonsai?

Viva les antiquités - just because something is old doesn’t mean it’s outdated.
Like emacs, gateway to everything, and it will even edit text files, too.
