I've never been a MORE user, but if anyone would want to try it out (in
either classic OS or Classic mode on OS X), it is available for free
download. I mention it just for comparison.
<http://www.outliners.com/>
I tried it out, and did not grok it. Perhaps because the download didn't
have the hardbound documentation? ;) I think I also had stability problems,
using it in OS 9.x.
Anyway, the most direct spiritual successor may be the outliner in
Userland's Frontier and Radio Userland products. (I never took the time to
fully learn the outliner, but that may be more because Userland's docs are
sometimes incoherent and sometimes hard to track down.) But as a pure
outliner (rather than a full-on scripting environment, which Frontier and
RU are), I really enjoy OmniOutliner. OO is one of those apps (along with
Graffle) that make me want to use OS X.
Note: Both Frontier and Radio Userland are now carbonized for use in OS X.
Radio is available as a free download with a 30-day trial, and is now
targetted as a personal Web development platform. (It's market changes
every couple of weeks, it seems. Last year, it was an MP3 player. I kid
you not.)
