I have to disagree here. I find Heavy to be completely unintuitive, and while it may give you conclusive answers fast when it's applicable, it's not applicable very often. Imagine trying to figure out what a person does all day. Heavy view will tell you that he spends 5% of his time manipulating a gas pedal, 10% of his time twiddling the radio, 3% pulling on the turn signal lever, 9% chewing, 2% swallowing. Tree view will tell you that he spends 18% of his time driving and 11% eating lunch, which is usually a lot more useful.
