Single-file largeness is usually self-evident. The times I need assistance are when I've let a directory grow to unhealthy proportions. That's when graphical tools help. Sure, command-line tools and scripted alerts are mandatory to keep production boxes in order, but workstations often grow fungus files _because_ they're outside of a managed environment.
I always liked treesize (mentioned above). The free version does enough for most people.
