Perhaps you read some of the messages wrong. We don't want to ditch the drawer and replace it with nothing. We want it replaced with something similar to how Mail, iTunes and iPhoto list hierarchies.
Nothing as "pretty", just arrows with the same file icons would suffice.

I can't let this go by without a word of support for the drawer, which, similar to the case of the poster above, was one of the features that wowed me watching the rails video and sent me to Google to find out what that beautiful damn editor was. The ability to see, at a glance, a complex directory structure is to me a feature, and, even after a couple scant weeks, a nearly indispensable one. All the other features (deep programability and such) are just gravy, which is to say, a delightful, unexpected bonus. Finally I don't have to install quanta under fink, which never worked that well for me anyway.
