"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."

but isn't FileLight 2-dimensional?
Yes, very much so... it happens to be mentioned in the article as a 2D alternative to normal browsers.
Also, it's the first plugin I've encountered that's actually managed to crash Konqueror. Seems to be better used standalone...
No argument here. It's amazingly useful for specific tasks, but not so good for others.
It's the Filesystem browser equivalent of the House of Representatives- recorded by size. If that's what you want it's great
