I've tried XMind myself, and although it's visually appealing, there were a few fatal flaws which caused me to try other mappers; these are:

1) moving topics/branches make program become very slow. 2) impossible to move your topics around. sometimes branch would cross other topics , thus make it hard to read.

Try DropMind or Mindjet instead.

@Anil Nice idea! I agree, nothing like paper and pen. I use them a lot, but for the special case of continuous maintenance of a mindmap, a software is needed.

@Vikram Thanks, will hope to write more useful stuff.

Mindmaps are a great way to make strategies, execution plans and many things like that. I tried using mindmap softwares, but nothing matches a piece of paper or a white board. So here’s what we do, we use white board for mindmaps, hree of us use three different colors, take snap on our mobile n mail it across. It’s serves as MOM

@Gowri : I tried Freemind before I tried XMind. The reason I switched over was because Freemind felt ugly to me , XMind feels nicer.

@Ketan : You’re welcome!

Freemind is another free/open source mindmap tool. Though its not very high on all kinds of features, its very simple to use and has kbd shortcuts for everything. Its the simplicity that I like in that tool, and also its html export capability.
