What is ncdu?
A disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface, aimed to be run on a remote server where you don't have an entire gaphical setup, but have to do with a simple SSH connection. ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.

Can not imagine it being easier to use. Ncdu displays disk usage in a very intuitive way from the terminal.
It's incredibly fast and easy to use (if you are used with the terminal)
If you are familiar with terminal, it's pretty friendly and easy to use
This little utility is excellent. I install it on every linux box to be able to quickly check usage of storage space, and drill down as necessary for more detail. Perfect
Just what I need. Simple, powerful, terminal
Finally. Great command line dis space analyser.
