"You don't need a Ph.D. in scientific visualization to have some fun with three-dimensional data. Whether you're searching for an unused nook in a cramped disk partition, or trying to find the bloated temp/ folder that's crashing your system, sometimes the flat folder view of a traditional GUI file browser is little help. Luckily, Linux offers a variety of 3-D filesystems that can make your disk usage statistics come alive."

I'd just kill for a file manager with the functionality of the Z-Tree (an updated version of the old X-Tree)...
Oh wait, there's Z-Tree.
Seriously, Tree view of the filesystem, with ability to log all files and see the size of each directory just by clicking on it on the tree... Windows 'folder' view comes CLOSE, but doesn't include the subdirectories in the size total... Just give us two columns in tree view, one for files in directory, one for files + all subdirectories... problem solved.
But then that's text and simple, aka the antithesis of everything modern file management seems to be about.
