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…


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.
