NSCollectionView appears to suffice, and I’ve used it before, but it simply isn’t performant as it doesn’t reuse cells, and it doesn’t seem like it’s designed for this kind of thing. On the other kind, NSBrowser seems to be built for representing the file system, but based on example code I’ve found on ADC it only seems suitable for building an interface out of Miller columns, which isn’t suitable for me.

I’ve used Uli Kusterer’s UKDistributedView for this, using a cell class of my own, and a few other mods. I’m not sure if Uli is still maintaining this, but it did the job. http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/93982-ann-ukdistributedview-finder-icon-view.html
Uli reads this list, he may be able to tell you the latest news.
