because we don't feel the need for a generic list+tree abstraction.
personally, I find it very confusing in GTK+ as well.

it's also a matter of what kind of UIs Clutter targets: on the iPhone or
on small embedded devices I have yet to see a tree-like widget like a
full GtkTreeView showing a GtkTreeStore, for instance; the GtkListStore
is far more common.

ClutterModel is targeted at tables/lists. if in the future there's some
need for trees, a ClutterModelTree can be added as well.
