This tool is sorta like using "ls -l" in the Terminal. I love it. WhatSize helped me clean up about 50 gigs of wasted space, last week.

The distinct advantage of this over Omni DiskSweeper is that this is free. However, this doesn't appear to sort by size, so if you would rather see the data that way, ODS would be much better for you.
