Our take
Pick Napkin if you're operators and educators who already have the words and need a diagram, not a photo. Pick Xmind if you're someone who will map a project, then export. Skip Napkin if you're people who want a prompt-to-image studio (getimg.ai) or a full slide deck generator (Gamma). Skip Xmind if you're on a architecture team who need C4 versions (IcePanel) or a workshop mural (Mural).
