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 graphical 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.

Not better than du in my eyes...
sudo du / --human-readable --threshold=+1024MB --one-file-system
Was very fast, now even faster since the rewrite
It's an easy software to analyze and clean-up your storage.
It's incredibly fast and easy to use (if you are used with the terminal)
Can not imagine it being easier to use. Ncdu displays disk usage in a very intuitive way from the terminal.
