As Everything is able to read the MFT (as well as do a normal folder/file scan), perhaps a future version could incorporate some type of disk usage visualisation. There seems to be a market for it.

@japanescort:
do you mean something like wiztree and windirstat?
(I do recommend WizTree. Very fast as it uses the same MFT technology as Everything)

Sorry, but this is in no way a solution compared to the display and functions of WizTree.
