Interesting suggestion of btop. How does it compare to htop?

I like btop better just on an aesthetic level. But they all show the same shit as far as I can tell.

Personally I find btop really hard to glance at and see what's happening, htop is much better for opening up and quickly checking what process is hogging CPU/RAM/IO/whatever.
