Inspiration had two winning features that appealed to me:

1. It was much more than a mind map. It did diagramming in many modes. In fact, I think “mind map” was a style of diagram they added late in the game.

2. It was also a very capable outliner, and you could switch between outline and diagram views.

Sadly, my experience with Inspiration pretty much mirrors yours, Hugh.
