I haven't used XMind recently, but previously I found it great to use for studying or for brainstorming where I could easily show connections or hierarchy within thoughts. When trying to understand complex ideas or even sometimes architecture I find it easier to display in a mind map at first than to use other diagramming software. I think of it like tiling window manager.. rather than manage all the windows myself, the mind map software does it for me.
