As regards most mmapping software I agree with Thasaidon, with the single exception of Scapple. Because it's so unfussy and lacks all the visuals of other mmapping software, it's very fast to use. Brainstorming is an easy process of quickly getting down ideas and speedily linking them. You can make certain nodes stand out with colour etc, but this is all done after the initial thinking.

For "pretty" mind maps, with different colours and illustrations, I prefer felt pens and an A3 sheet of paper. But I rarely do this since trying and purchasing Scapple.

Before Scapple I tried XMind (the free version) and Freemind. The visuals of XMind were nice, but it was so faffy that the ideas were lost in the search for pretty icons etc.
