Mindjet MindManager Mind Mapping iMindMap usable

to test the latest version of MindManager for Mac OS X. Definitely a good mind mapping program . MindManager What makes a good program? Usability. I
Usability can be defined as "the efficiency and satisfaction with which a product can meet specific targets to specific users in a specified context of use" or as "the ability of software to be understood, learned, used and be attractive for user under specific conditions of use. " Well, that is MindManager and have it well done. Admittedly
NovaMind has been my favorite program for Mind Mapping , however I must admit that MindManager 7 for Mac OS X has a level of usability probably higher but the maps are visually inferior.
Pros: It's pretty intuitive. A generates a new branch enter or topic. Anywhere in the document where there appears double-click the new branch. You can navigate between topics through tab. A topic can be moved easily to another and make it a sub-topic. Bring also incorporated several mind mapping templates. Not only that, but can also be incorporated into the map is a map prefabricated part of the library of images, backgrounds and mental maps. All library materials can also be appended to the document drag and drop within a topic or a sub-topic.
Another advantage is clear respect to guidelines for Mac OS X interface Apple has been characterized by an excellent interface and operating system programs. MindManager has a clear consistency with the Mac interface For example, the "inspectors" of the program are quite similar to what one finds in Keynote or Pages .
While the level of usability is outstanding, one of the problems is the lack of flexible, you can not move a lot of topics, the organization of these is quite structured and not as organic as a mental map is not typical or the beauty of NovaMind. Any form is a wonderful program.
