FreeMind is really easy to use and produces beautiful mindmaps. The mindmaps are foldable, so you can focus on the branches you are working on at the time and you can format each branch exactly as you want it. Mindmap branches can be coloured, displayed as bubbles or forks and you can even include symbols.
So no more messy handwritten mindmaps that are too complicated to be any use. Did I mention that it is completely free? Why pay nearly £60 for Tony Buzan's iMindMap or between £50 and £200 for MindManager when you can get FreeMind for free. Get it here, there are installers for Linux, Mac and Windows.
