Hey Sebastian, Great question. The reason I'm choosing richlistbox is mostly for speed and convenience, because a binding already exists (autocomplete.xml#autocomplete-rich-result-popup) that will do what I want (with some minor CSS tweaks), and I didn't want to write something new from scratch.
I'm all for rewriting stuff in HTML where possible. I'll touch base with the devtools team to see if I can use anything they've built instead. I know, for example, that debugger.html seems to be using some kind of React-based tree[1], but I'm still reasonably certain that a tree is not what we want to use from these popups. A simple (but styleable) list popup API would suffice.
