I could not work without a tree view. The best option would be to have a "places" view <i>with</i> a tree view for the file system, network and external devices. Also, I prefer to use the list view, which is often ignored by designers. The columns are simply the fastest way of seeing info like ownership, size, type and modification date simultaneously on multiple files.
