    K4DirStat vs Filelight Comments

    k4dirstat shows listings and information, where filelight shows you a neat looking graphic that doesn't have any useful information unless you hover over each element. filelight also doesn't allow you to see which files are taking up a lot of space because it just clumps all files into a single listing.
