I have exactly the same issue, I hate the way ColumnList works. My main issues:
- Lack of key/value support (every other list-style control supports it, why not ColumnList?)
- Bizarre scrolling. A columnized list should scroll sideways to show new columns, not the vertically one item at a time. I think this is the one that really confuses people.
- Difficult selection determination

I like scrolling in column list. It dosn't scroll columns but items in visible columns. This is a very good solution for long list (at least for me). You can adjust columns count by changing the width of just one column (I mean here it's easy to make more items visible without resizing the widget). Of course similar possibility could be implemented in classical approach.
What you need is arrayctrl/gridctrl which adjust columns count automaticaly for given list count. It can be easily done. However grid/array ctrl are heavy controls. I would suggest creating a new control (RowList e.g).
