FreeMind

It is now **ten years ago** that I started using Freemind and I have decided that it is time for some words of gratitude, long due. Freemind has helped me get great results in my studies, has helped me to prepare job applications and is in a way currently helping me develop projects in my work. Thank you!
The simplicity of Freemind, including its simple visuals, and its customizability has always appealed to me. I have also started appreciating free software more and more over the years, as I have learned more about the value of liberty in computer systems.
For a year ago however, I heard about the existence of a fork for this project which is more active than Freemind itself. I have recently starting using this fork and recommend others to do the same. (This is also why I give this project four stars, instead of five.) Nevertheless, I want to repeat: thank you Freemind, for everything you have done for mindmapping!
