I used to use FreeMind a fair bit, essentially as a hierarchical set of lists. This tends to fall apart a bit when things start not fitting into a neat hierarchy, so I fell out of using it. It also isn't well suited to longer-form notes which I found myself wanting to mix in. I'm quite interested in this sort of note taking organisation: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/ https://notes.andymatuschak.org/ - it seems to better fit my internal thought process before bending it a bit to fit a mind-map application... I've not found something that quite works that way UX wise (his code is not published) and it'll be years before I get around to trying to write my own! There are apps out there that seem to enable implementing that sort of note making and linking method (https://github.com/churichard/notabase https://github.com/churichard/notabase, and others mentioned in comments in the thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29969757 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29969757) that I meant to try out when I have a bit of tinkering time.
