Daisy Disk isn't a new idea... the Windows Freeware 'Scanner' by Steffen Gerlach was the first I saw to implement this disk view 8-9 years ago. Still find that utility priceless to this day.
Filelight has also been doing this in KDE since about 2003. I still think it's slightly easier to use than DaisyDisk, since the labels actually point to the sunburst chart. But DaisyDisk does look much spiffier.

Ahh yes, this tiny application is a permanent part of my Windows tool kit. Absolutely fantastic for finding out where all the disk space has gone.
try the new 2.0 beta. the "main viz" is essentially the same, but lots of little animation tweaks here and there.
