Note that recent search tools have been integrated into this program that are especially exciting but I'll focus on what I mostly use the program for: tracking down space hogs. Everytime I have a drive filling up too quickly, it helps to first look at what's standing in my way of a few gigs of space. Often it's a temporary file or a program / folder I'm never going to use again. WizTree helps me track down and zap those quickly. I love it.
Scanning was extremely fast even on a network share -- about 100 times faster than Windirstat.
After having used Windirstat for "decades" as the best disk usage visualization tool by far, I must say that WizTree is probably the #1 tool to beat now.
On Windirstat, only the Treemap looks a tiny bit more polished on HiDPI screens, because you can make Windirstat show the colored 'file pillows' with a black grid.
The Windirstat look:

Same folder in WizTree look:

Also, when comparing the two Treemaps, in WizTree there seems to be something cut off at the bottom.
Other than that, WizTree seems to be perfect.
Best out of the 5 alternatives i have tried, imo.
The best of all: to scan the same huge dir it takes only 1 sec VS 30 secs of other "professional" and freeware alternatives!
Free, Fast speed, multiple view such as tree view, tree map, extension view, file view
