Hi fellow XMind users,
As many people using XMind on a daily base, I was confused about the coming of XMind Zen. The graphical rendering of the product was a lot better, no doubt of that, but there was a lack in functionality compared to the XMind Pro version. I was assuming the nieuw Snowbrush engine was going to replace Eclipse and that there should be a XMInd Zen Pro version very soon...
But nothing !
Aside of that, XMind Ltd changed there market strategy by adopting the hated monthly/yearly fee system, which IMHO did not improve the popularity of the product.
As a professional MindMapping instructor, I used to be very active on the forum on
support.xmind.net., trying to help fellow users. And when I came back today, after a few months of leaves, I was very surprised to observe that last posts were dated back from march 18 ! Even the very active and friendly
Juha Metsäkallas seems to have disappear ;-). And a lot of questions were answered by a "
XMind Genius", closing the threads without giving the chance to the community to elaborate. Does it means that users don't experience problems anymore, or that users simply use other softwares ? I guess the second...
I am still an enthusiast user of the Pro version, but I feel uncertainties about the future of XMind Ltd !
Has anyone a thought to share about that ?
Cheers,
Christophe aka Reboltof
