Underappreciated top

Always thought top was one of those programs frozen in time since the 70s, but apparently, it has a feature set comparable to htop and the like. The default configuration just doesn’t show much of it…

    Why are good features never made defaults? We can make it look almost like htop and it feels like the defaults couldn’t be worse. It’s such a waste to hide good features behind bad defaults.

      Yeah, I especially don’t understand it here, because it’s a graphical tool. You don’t have to keep backwards compatibility.

      Even if you’re worried about people depending on the format that’s being piped, you could keep only the piped format stable. We have the technology.
