as mind map user I like to jot idea with parent, children, sibling hierarchy.

I am not satisfied with the present method of creating the three above as need to do a lot of adjustments ex option+ enter to create a new sibiling then ,Shift+<, or Shift+> to adapt the sibiling as a parent or sub. As I am in a creative process would like a faster way to achieve this.

For long list of sibilings I resolved writing in plain text the list and then shift+V and jjjj to select the list and then i launch toggle-heading, but this does not work if I add myself spaces in the plain text.

Please do you know a fast way to open a parent/children/sibiling node, I see a shortcut could be a solution, but do not know if is a good idea because should combine more commands

The nice thing about Emacs is that you can write a function to automate away the repetitive actions.

No idea what a mind map is.

please check freeplane to see mindmap in action, is something should be better integrated with org imo

Pass. Org mode is already feature creep mess

It's modular. You use the parts you use, the rest doesn't weigh it down.

Yes, but all those parts that I don't use have cooties! ;)
