I've written a lot about Mindjet Mind Manager as a project management tool.  However, I also encourage you to check out Matchware's MindView product.  I recently wrote an article on Projects@Work about Mind Mapping a Better WBS.  The classic WBS view and top-down estimation features are impressive features in this mind mapping tool!
