CoffeeCup HTML Editor vs. Xmind

My typical use is to edit HTML and CFM pages from prior projects, and use them to create new ones. So, I rarely use the tools for designing pages provided in this application. I have found the ability to preview a page very useful. I am aware of numerous features in this editor, that simpler editors would not provide. It has proven to be a great fit for my use.

Well suited:

• Organizing information.
• Doing research.
• Organizing goals.
• Planning tasks.
• Planning meetings.
• Structure for writing documents.

Less appropriate:

• Sharing documents among the teams/multiple users.
• General-purpose infographics.
• Writing longer paragraphs in the note field is very limited.
• Integration with GitHub.
• Integration with Confluence.
• XMind uses a proprietary document format which is not indexed by search programs on a PC or a Mac. This means that one cannot search in the content of the XMind documents.

The support around a bug in the tool which prevented the correct printing of diagrams. Support came back after a few days, and there was no workaround. Eventually, the bug was fixed in a future release. The company does not pay much attention to user forums. With better support and plugin mechanism for user contributions, the product would be more convincing.

It has a different form. Trello is good for task management. Xmind will give an overall connection between different tasks and how all the tasks interconnect to each other. The reminder function in Trello is good to keep track. However, a bird's eye view in Xmind will put conversations into context, and ease the navigation of any discussions.
