Hmm... I saw org-brain but it looked clunky so decided to not try it out, perhaps I judged it too soon.
I watched a video and it does look like it shows "clones", in that you can have the same node referenced in different parts of the tree. Without using org-brain but seeing it, and with having used Leo heavily, the main differences appear to be: - org-brain does not appear to indicate when something is a clone (things would start to get confusing in larger DAGs with nodes of the same name) - no explicit babel integration (therefor no ability to generate full code files from DAG) - no explicit tangle/untangle integration (same inability as above) It appears as though the target audience for org-brain is specifically mind-mapping, where these features might not be missed. That is likely going to be the differentiator, if you're trying to do mind-mapping, note-organization type tasks it may offer you similar features to what you can find in Leo. It is likely not going to get you any kind of Tree/DAG programming ability. The closest thing you will find to Leo's features with regards to organizing code is outshine <https://github.com/alphapapa/outshine>; be warned there are no clones, it just offers a tree structure (which is definitely better than nothing at all). It's been discussed here before but the way Leo handles "clones" is a cut above the rest: cleanly, transparently, and natively. The cleanliness of their implementation is evident in how broadly and generically they can be used. They remind me a bit of symlinks in the Linux filesystem. Emacs and any plugin I've seen thus far lacks a true cloning ability. Though I actually do not think it would be too difficult to implement one's self. Emacs has a feature called "indirect buffers" <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Buffer-Convenience.html#Buffer-Convenience> which is a true cloning ability, but lacking all structure. It likely would not be difficult to do something clever with org, babel, and indirect buffers to create a tree/body view very similar to Leo's. You would be able to tangle, but never untangle (this is also a feature unique to Leo).
