#2This is awesome!
Re: mactop
#3Pretty.
Top is such a useful sysadmin command for high level sys info, and the new Macs are so quiet I rarely know if a processes has gone out of control, this will be a fun way to investigate that.
Re: mactop
#4The sudo permission should be added by brew at install time (see how the dotnet SDK handles installation on macs), it's poor ergonomics to have to invoke it manually.

Purely subjective of course, but is this prettier than htop in your opinion? I actually felt like it was pretty typical if not a tad ugly, mainly because the color bars seem way to vertically long (i.e. tall/high) to me. It does convey information at a glance, but less vertical space would be an improvement IMHO. I do like the colors chosen though.

#6You can get most of the info also on btop (https://github.com/aristocratos/btop), just without the ANE and annotating the cores. It's cross platform though.
Re: mactop
#7CPU usages seems very very high for this.

#9Very nice, an instant addition to my $PATH. In particular I like having the ANE usage displayed, as this is typically invisible in other top-like tools.

The sudo is for the runtime permissions, not the installation, of the program. dotnet requires (does it? it's been a while since I touched it but I vaguely recall this) sudo for installation, but not for execution.
