I think another software, ProcessOn, is better for me than Xmind because it is more comprehensive and also supports the functionality of visio

Comments and Reviews
This software has changed my career and my life! I used Xmind's diverse structure to sort out my understanding of business, and I used Xmind's pitch mode to practice expressing ideas and presentations directly. Xmind eventually helped me get through the darkest stage of my career. By the way, I found out their community at Discord: https://discord.gg/R2PqmCVZcd
Pay close to 100 USD to be able to search the mind maps? There are better free and open source alternatives that offer search without paying a dime: Freeplane, Freemind, etc.

It can't open .mm files
XMind has in my opinion gone from fast/lightweight, to clunky and slow over the years. I also feel they degraded the user interface, making used features more hidden, and allocating much screen space to buttons leading to 'premium'- and rarely used features. I now run version 3.1.1, which has the old clean UI and seems to be the last version prior to memory usage skyrocketing.
Over the years I have tried to find alternatives, but the visual map-aesthetics of competitors don't sit well with me, possibly because I used XMind for so many years.
but with current 1 file many map, it's a rubbish.
Been using this program for over 5 years and it is a good alternative for Microsoft Visio. Although it does not have all Visio's features, but I do not need them for the task that I perform.
I don't think this application is designed to replace visio. Visio is a diagrammer whereas this is a mind mapper.

Agree :) However it has diagram, project planning and other nice features, which are similar to Visio.
