It seems they'll be here for a long time, however this discussion looks very similar to ideas of an itemviews-ng project (https://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2008/10/24/itemviews-the-next-generation/). I didn't look quite close at this project and i wonder - is it used in qt5 somehow in QML world, or does QML still uses QAbstractItemModel and friends?

I just hate that column view and this "up-up-up-the-file-hierarchy-change-to-next-sibling-and-down-down-down-again"-navigation style which is enforced upon me my the Finder (and the lack of a proper - sic! - tree view).

My bet is that it uses QAbstractItemModel and friends. iirc the
itemviews-ng project was "alive" before there was any QML idea and was
based on QWidgets, still.
But we're drifting quite a bit here. The question was for filesystem
stuff in Qt.
