I had a similar experience. I wanted to make a mindmap/flowchart for a very complex project. Well, almost all flowchart software is meant for organizations to use, so it's got a bunch of extraneous steps that would've gotten in my way. And all the mindmap software was huge and suffered from the same problems on top of having obtuse interfaces. I just wanted something where I could right click, make an ellipse, right click it to add text that would resize the ellipse instead of the other way around, repeat, and then drag between the two in order to make a line. I gave up and made a conspiracy board on my wall with Post-It notes and some green yarn. The only downside is I only have access to it when in my house.
