From the author of the original
KDirStat.
This is a Qt-only port of the old Qt3/KDE3-based one, now based on the latest Qt 5. It does not need any KDE libs or infrastructure. It runs on every X11-based desktop on Linux, BSD and other Unix-like systems.
QDirStat features both tree and treemap which makes easier to identify disk usage. With customizable disk cleanup actions predefined behaviour might be setup and then performed in easy way via context menu.
QDirStat is also capable to show summary from aggregated data and visualize disk usage processed by various statistical methods.

Said about QDirStat as an alternative
Because it's the official designated successor, of course. Just look at the KDirStat home page (which still exists).
KDirStat Well, it's the same but in Linux. Good layout etc. The ony thing I miss is analyzing the entire drive. You can't just analyze /, but /home/ or /whatever/
WinDirStat it is very similar to windirstat, it has similar features and is very fast

This is much better UI than the linux disk usage analyzer, as the largest files are also shown along with folder sizes. The total view of the drive is a awesome. Since the drive follows 80:20 rule, it is much easier to locate few large files and it can directly take care of it. Also we can directly delete the file (use Ctrl-Del - to not to send to trash), which auto-refreshes the UI, for a quick find of the next big thing to delete.
