Are there any mind-mapping tools, like XMind, but which basic structure not tree, but directed acyclic graph (DAG)?

I don't know why do they do trees everywhere like tree maniacs! :)

Tree is always insufficient structure for mind mapping!

I know that many tools allow drawing arrows between nodes like that XMind or Visio. But I need DAG structure be essential and constraint, allowing collapsing ets...

The best I've found so far is yEd, available here: https://www.yworks.com/products/yed

The default settings for the editor behavior are quite uncommon, but after fiddling with the (quite extensive) preferences, I really quite like it! It also includes nice layout algorithms that place nodes of a directed acyclic graph in a way that minimizes intersections.
