What's so good about btop? I personally can't stand its interface, I don't need bells and whistles in my terminal.

It’s something I put in a very small terminal, hitting the 1,2,3,4,5 key until I get the view I need, just right, and there it sits telling me all during my busy compiles and things, just how max’ing my system is.

It’s very informative, well designed for a TUI, and shows me everything I need to see without requiring futzing around with the menu bar, or dealing with registration nagging, or notification popups, or any of the other mundane things the non-terminal performance monitors seem to think is necessary to stain my eyeballs…
