That's nice if you want the size of _every_ individual file in 
your home. In kilobytes.  It's much less so for visualising where 
hotspot directories are, let alone seeing the large divisions 
within them or getting a sense of their relative magnitude.  It's 
accurate, but data that doesn't end with presentation useful for 
humans is next to worthless.

shopt -s dotglob; du -sm ~/* | sort -rn | less

...is a bit closer, but there's a lot of room for improvement.  
Even the KDE part isn't really optimal (for example, I think 
reducing the recursion one level would be a better default), but 
it plays to the strengths of the human visual system markedly 
better:
