5 stars
Version: WinDirStat 1.1.2
"A Very Unique Approach!"
Pros: Colorful, yes!
I give WinDirStat five stars because it does all that it claims to do, and quite well, too. Will I keep it on my system? I haven't decided yet.
Many people have different learning styles. For those who are extremely visually-oriented, this program will no doubt be invaluable. For others, it offers a great Windows Explorer-like feel.
It's both lightweight, a reasonably small download size, and free. It offers a help file, too. Deletions you make can be put in the recycle bin, or optionally, permanently and irreversibly deleted, so choose wisely!
The color-coded 'legend' is both easy to use and easy to understand. The program actually displays a whole lot of information, and can be extremely useful. I've had a whole lot of fun getting to know it.
Cons: The help file lacks a certain 'something', clarity-wise. There are other, similar programs available that I believe to be just as effective.
The colors actually distract me, personally, but I know of some people with visual preferences who would benefit greatly from this program. It has its' merits (good ones, too), but to each his or her own (style).
