       | xdiskusage is an FLTK program I use regularly. It's still one of
       | my favorite ways to analyze disk usage. A nice feature is that it
       | can take a du output file so it's easy use it with filtered du
       | outputs, du runs from other machines or du-like output produced
       | by other means.

       | Fltkhs [1] was the best ever experience I've had while doing
       | small/auxiliary GUI utilities. Now using NWG [2] for that (UI
       | forms examples [3]) and it is so much less elegant and so much
       | more verbose than Fltkhs. Resulting lean EXEs without any bundled
       | runtime are nice though.

       | For those unfamiliar, FLTK is a cross-platform widget library in
       | C++, with bindings to many other languages available. It's
       | vaguely similar to something like Qt, but far simpler and far
       | more developer-friendly. It is excellent; strongly recommended to
       | all, for everything.
