+1 for 3.

I would also like to see the number of child nodes for a parent node, 
without expanding it. This way I won't be surprised that expanding a 
node with >1000 child nodes takes so long (either because of the DB, 
network or DOM).

Now, regarding the three proposed ways of adding new nodes:

-1 for A and B since I'd like to be able to add a child node without 
expanding the parent (especially when I see it has >1000 child nodes 
already). How can I know that the name I want it's not taken? The UI 
(input dialog or filter) should tell me. I don't want to scroll through 
1000 (not even 100) nodes to find that by myself.

-0 for C since, although it seems scalable, it isn't. The problem is 
when the name of the parent node is really long and there are many 
actions on the right of it.

So to me C seems better than A and B, but not perfect. Unfortunately I 
don't have a better solution.. thinking..
