sorting branches on one level, binsorting of multiple branches by qualitative measures, randomization of branches on one level, flattening and deflattening of the subtrees (up to specified level), fast (I mean FAST) movement in the tree, presenting only given depth of the tree, inserting/deleting anylevel of the tree in the subtree, gathering branches while browsing through the tree and dropping in the new subtree, qualitative prioritizing (order 500 items according to your preferred taste), all this working on unlimited-depth tree (while working in brainstorming mode you really do not want to be limited just to five levels or so). > >programs than just folding.

Something which I would like to call outline editor -- it is not text editor, it is not wordprocessor, it is oriented on raw process of support thinking. I suppose that it is so different from regular editing of the document in LyX, that you would need some radically different view of the document (View/Outline in M$-Word comes to mind, but it should be heavily enhanced).
