Corbin, I've actually done this for internal use. I've used NSBrowser as a file browser in my previous app and I don't have specific complaints about it, other than its complexity. My thought here was to try to isolate and publish a very simple API that lets people who already use RBSplitView anyway do Finder-like column browsers of hierarchical data without having to code a special cell or anything.
However, I would like to seize this opportunity to ask people to file feature requests on NSSplitView (Scott Anguish also asked for that some weeks ago). NSSplitView seems to be viewed by developers as so set in stone that nobody believes Apple would consider changing it, but if enough people ask for a new NSModernSplitView (or whatever they want to call it), I think Apple may well do it in some future release.
I haven't filed any such requests myself, but I have sent in RBSplitView to the proper people in the Cocoa team; they're welcome to use it, or some subset of it, as they see fit.
