Menu based tree structure for content administration

It baffles me that there is no default organisation for display of the created content within drupal. I would expect it to be easy for be able to view all of the content in a tree-chart based on it's respective menu structure.

I've searched and asked but all I can find is that I have to create a custom view for this myself and accordingly create a template theme design for that view. Isn't this a basic requirement for a CMS? Easy to access and view all of the site's content in a structured way? When you have 500+ content items a couple of applied filters don't suffice.

Is there any module that easily sets up a tree structure for your content based on its menu structure?

Thanks ! :)
