Pros
Pro Exceptionally fast for NTFS drives
Because it reads the master file table (MFT) directly from NTFS file system.
Pro Free
There is no limitation to using it.
Pro Multiple view such as tree view, tree map, extension view, file view
Unlike other similar apps, which usually only offer single view, this app offers multiple views.
Pro Handles "hard linked" files correctly - doesn't count them more than once
WizTree is faster and much more accurate than all the others as it properly handles hard linked files (doesn't count them more than once) so the total allocated size reported by WizTree will actually match the space used on the drive as reported by Windows.
Pro Extensible with addons
Addons such as choclatey and Clipboard are some of the more popular ones, but it stands to reason that just about anything will be extensible if someone writes a plugin in order to perform that specific function.
Pro Easily search the web
There is a built in web search function in the Wox launcher that allows users to easily search sites like IMDB or Wikipedia by prefixing their searches with keywords such as "wiki".
Pro Can fully adapt Windows 10 theme and accent color
Pro Run cmd or Powershell commands directly
Pro Really fast
Faster than most other launchers.
Cons
Con Intended for NTFS only
It'll work with any other file system but with the same speed as any generic space analyzer.
Con Requires additional programs
Like 'find everything' and Python.
