I have multiple trees lined up side-by-side, each tree shows the same hierarchy in a different version (so the items in the tree are different, not the hierarchy itself) - think of a side-by-side folder comparison with any number of trees. The trees are all sync'd, when you select an item in one tree, the item gets selected in all of them. It creates the perfect illusion of one big view with features that I could never achieve in one tree.
The only thing that doesn't work is the menu highlight because there's no control over it - which I personally find rather surprising given to customizability of the thing in all other areas.
Would there be other solutions? Well yes sure, putting everything in one NSOutlineView, but I would loose a lot of UI goodies that way and thus its not really an option.

Markus
