The biggest difference between this free program and something like MindManager is the overall refinement of the user interface, the look and feel, and navigation. (Maybe I shouldn't expect it to be slow - Personal Brain mind mapper is also Java-based and it totally responsive with its live links and way-cool animated navigation.) Plus, the program is quite zippy (on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard) even though its Java-based. I own and use Mindjet MindManager for mind mapping, and this free program has an amazing amount of the same advanced features, like filtering, notes, hot links to the web and docs, and customizable icons that allow you filter. This program has a hell of a lot of horsepower and features for a free program.
