    Showing directory size is not enough for me. I need to see files sizes in that big directory. And WinDirStat do it on the first page.

    Simple, but very useful. You need to be comfortable with using command line, but it does what it needs to.

    Many servers are command-line only over ssh, so graphical tools are useless for those. This is a good tool to be able to see what is going on quickly and using only a ssh shell session.
