About htop
htop is a cross-platform interactive process viewer. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses. Compared to the traditional top, htop provides a more user-friendly interface with color coding, tree view for processes, and the ability to scroll both horizontally and vertically.

Essential System Monitor
htop is absolutely essential for any Linux user. The interface is intuitive and provides much more information than traditional top. Color coding makes it easy to spot resource hogs.

Much Better Than Top
Great improvement over top. Love the tree view and the ability to kill processes directly from the interface.
