Personally I'm not keen on any dialogue needing to be resizable or scrollable
just to use it. Where in modern GUIs do you have interface elements that must
be resized or scrolled horizontally to be used?, not very frequently because it
is annoying. For a treeview there is a great deal of wasted space. Look at a
really deep treeview like the one in the windows registry editor, One has to
resize the left hand pane extremely wide, and there is a great deal of wasted
space due to a treeview's shape. Elegance is about refined beauty and style, I
don't think that this applies to a clumsy resizable pane. However, this is
probably the simplest solution, and no other solution seems much better at
present.
