That’s a joke, right? Why should a disk sizing tool be more than a few hundred KB?

  All the super safe(tm) Rust code to wrap system("ls -l --block-size=M")

  This comment is a joke, right? Are you seriously thinking users would rather open the terminal and type in some commands instead of downloading a GUI app just to save 5MB?

    Yes. Back in the day 5MB was reserved for highly important programs due to size limitations - it's that knowledge which many users of this forum exemplify and why we're continuing to lead the software development community. Any space wasted on unnecessary things like graphics and animation that detracts from the functionality of the program is useless.

      Back in the day these were command line programs that did not have to include icons for hidpi screens. Those are huge!

      Whats the point of having GBs of ram and TBs of disk if you are never going to use it?

  OmniDiskSweeper: my favorite app for this is a native Mac application. That weighs in at about 24MB. This is quite a bit leaner. Don’t know if it’s any good but for non technical users the size of this app is about as low as you can go without dropping into a terminal.
