Thanks for the links. Such bold claim sparked an interesting
conversation, despite the fact that the blog post author didn't knew any
of the outliners and mind mappers software that were presented in the
discussion thread. I particularly enjoyed the Engelbarts ideas mixing
outlining with hypertext[1] and their current incarnations by the
research team[2] and Seco, which contains several ideas from Grafoscopio
(even mixing mathematica interactive nodes, with Smalltalk ideas), but
is implemented in Java and exists from 2004[3].

Why Don't We Have a General Purpose Tree Editor?
Apr 1, 2014 • pcmonk
We have excellent tools to create and edit text (vim, emacs, sublime,
etc.). We have pretty good tools to create and edit tabular data
(excel, other spreadsheet software). We even have pretty good tools to
create and edit diagrams, pictures, and video.
Why don’t we have good tools to create and edit trees and graphs?
Trees and graphs (in the sense of connections between data) are the
underpinnings of structured data. Virtually all data can be described
in terms of vertices with (possibly directed, labeled, and/or
weighted) edges between them. That may not be the best way of
presenting it, but it works. For a variety of different types of data,
it is indeed best to think in terms of the connections between the data.
Most often this is manifested in trees because our data is often
hierarchical in nature. Thus it makes sense to focus on trees.
Additionally, many graph structures can be viewed best by analyzing
them through the “cross-section” that a tree view provides. This is
all fairly abstract, so I think before I go any further I should give
an example.
