What is best?

• Export of map to HTML, with folding (see example)
• Find facility, where found items are shown one by one as you do "find next", and the map is unfolded only for the current item.
• Possibility to use and edit long multiline nodes; even with newlines
• Possibility to decorate nodes with built-in icons, colors and different fonts.
• Low costs of risk of switching away to another mind mapping tool, because FreeMind stores maps in XML format.
• File mode enables you to browse the files on your computer, seeing the folder structure as mind map.
