I've never found the treemap view of filesystem viewers all that useful. Pie charts aren't any better. A basic hierarchical list of directories sorted by size is fine. I can use it interactively and drill down if I need more information. Tree maps like this for example* seem to contain more information than I can easily process.
The one thing I like about that one is that you get a quick, rough overview of which file type (Applications, System, ...) use up how much space and where they are located in the hierarchy. But I don't generally care about the latter and the former would, again, best be served by a simple sortable list or tree list.
