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.

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.

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/
