I used TheBrain for a long time, and can remember how much I liked it when I first got it. As the material I was organizing built up, though, I found that the screen was much too crowded and it became less appealing to use.
About two years ago, I started using Topicscape (topicscape.com). It has all the connection flexibility of TheBrain, and the ability to centre around any node, but it makes a landscape of your thoughts and it overcame the crowding problem by a sort of 3D presentation with zooming. You get familiar with where you are by recognising the scene.
