Yea, I love du -hd 1 | sort -h when cleaning up. I absolutely love that I don't need any extra software to quickly locate whatever takes up space. I can do this on any machine without installing anything extra.

That's a completely different tool, though, no? I just do this for determining when I need to clean up:

df -hx tmpfs

Gives me enough information for this purpose and, again, does not require any additional software, df is part of coreutils.
