I've used BrainForest and Bonsai. I like 'em both, but Bonsai has 
some features that BF lacks, so I used Natara's Palm-based importer 
to bring all my BF outlines into Bonsai and just use that now. It 
doesn't have any Mac version, but you can always create something in 
BF/Mac, move it to the Palm, and then import it into Bonsai.

The original developer of BF is now working on a new version of it, 
so maybe someday the feature parity will be better and then I might 
go back to BF.
