What are the best mind mapping tools for Mac?

Pros

Pro
Real-time Gantt charts

Data can be represented as a map and as an outline simultaneously.

Cons

Con
Odd UI interaction conventions

Some conventions used to interact with the software are either questionable or simply going against what's commonly accepted. For example, right-click + drag will move around, holding down the right-click will open up the context-menu and left-click in an open space will start a new unconnected node. What this results in is constant accidental opening of context-menu then accidental creation of a new node trying to get out of the context-menu.
