I vote for this too! It's a one of top missing features in MODX. There have been some talks in forums about it and it has been raised before, but never as a feature request.
The tree is just great but it's ideal for site structure and limited number of resources. Managing more than a dozen or so of resources in the tree becomes ineffective. I've got sections with 50+ resources, a section with 200+ static resources and I'm about to import some 1600+ (!) resources into one of sections. I'm simply afraid it will stop to work and I can't imagine working with that number of resources in the tree. It will just be unresponsive when refreshing on every save.
MODX team, please, give us a list/grid view option for child resources. This should definitely be a resource setting, affecting child resources but I think it should be possible to set in on template to, ie. a resource using that template will have its children shown in the list/grid instead of tree.
I think the list/grid could be added as a separate screen invoked with a separate command in the res' context menu. It could also be added as another tab to resource edit and overview screens. I guess a permission to see the child resources would be required.

For some sections with lot of documents like blogs, news sections, etc. It could be usefull to configure the way the childs will be shown ( in parent settings ). For example, if we click "news" in the tree, instead of show all its childs there, MODX should load a new page with all the documents and options to order, filter and search in a list/grid instead of the tree. I know we can make folders in the tree to organize documents, and I really love the tree view, but the "list view" can be so helpfull sometimes.
