I've used both VYM and KDissert (I suppose Semantik, it's KDE4 version, 
behaves the same), and I've seen a screencast of braindump 0.8.

I see braindump as a different mindmapping tool than others. Since it's built 
using KOffice technologies, it has many drawing and presentation options. 
That's pretty nice for some purposes. However, I see KDissert and VYM (and 
other more "conventional" programs) as more focused on mindmapping. There the 
interface and the drawing are more focused on having all well tied together, 
since that's what makes a drawing a real mindmap with everything related.

That said, I'm using none of them, since I like much more the way that 
Freemind behaves. This is a different way of doing a mindmap, since you focus 
much less in positioning everything or drawing graphical elements. You just 
focus on taking notes of everything in a structured way. And since it 
supports folding (a complete must have for me, but kind of impossible to 
implement with other tools), it's quite convenient for making summaries or 
to-do lists. It's only problem is that is written in Java, so is slow and 
heavy, and it's UI is a little bit ugly (the keybindings are quite nice, 
tough).

Greetings.
