Overall Satisfaction with MindManager
From my perspective you have ruined some key features that have caused me to no longer enjoy the product and at $475 for a permanent license, other products are looking far more appealing.
1. Pasting in to topic notes does not maintain the original formatting. I use this function constantly and having to reformat the text everything makes me want to uninstall the product. This, I feel is a lost opportunity as text copied from ChatGPT is in markdown and gets pasted everywhere as raw markdown. I think Corel could easily have built a feature that translate markdown as a marketable feature (this could also apply to WordPerfect)
2. The radial maps don't behave like a clock anymore, the auto-balance just puts new topics as it pleases. In my opinion, this is disruptive to the design flow using the keyboard shortcuts and real-time collaborative work.
3. In my opinion, the new map designs are terribly bland and un-inspiring, I think you guys need to stop trying to follow nuvo cool designs and focus on corporate.

From previous versions, I used the product to make SRS documents, now I am looking for something else.
Draw.IO is free to use but MindManager still have better keyboard flow.
