I found the feature of the tree view to expand the directories always a bit 
strange. In the other views you always see the contents of one directory, in 
this mode you can see the contents of multiple directories.
Back then in 2000 I implemented the TextView and I still use and prefer it 
over the other ones.
So I'd say both should be kept, but IMO moved to the "advanced" views.
