However, after looking at “What’s New” and playing around with version 3.0 I don't see anything remotely significant enough in it over version 2.6.4 that justifies repurchasing it for $49. I would consider a very modest upgrade price. Am I missing something?

As much as I love Incubator's simplicity, its more limited feature set seems to make it a less likely candidate for integrating into workflow on an iPad, for instance, where I tend to use iThoughts, although MindNode is workable, too.
On that note, Mindnode Pro on the Mac looks good, but my using the iOS on the go means I'm much less likely to use an app on the Mac that I can't integrate easily.
Caveat: I haven't tried version 3 yet. Kind of put off by the threat of the upgrade moving from $19 to $29 in a short time, before I have a chance to try this out in connection with a workflow that is both mobile and on the desktop.

On the upside, they are still maintaining their "limited time" upgrade fee of $19.00. As much as I have used this app, I'd be tempted to take them up on it. But the functionality of the thing has just not improved enough. Meanwhie, as I mentioned in my previous comment, there's the whole issue of the iOS, which offers mind maps with a fuller feature set than this one, meaning I can't use it to integrate.
In the end, I shall probably just stick to version 2.6.4, not so much for mind-mapping anymore, but for making reasonably clear diagrams and charts for my students.

FreeMind (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19325), though, offers much of the same functionality at the unbeatable price of free.
