#2I always wondered why people bother with htop on OS X when the built-in Activity Monitor.app is so nice already.
I only use htop on remote boxes myself.

#3High Sierra seems like a great OS if you want an unstable workstation that doesn't work with tools you've used everyday for well over a decade.

#4People are missing the point-- it's not an htop problem since a simple console app running as a user should not be able to do this at all.
This gives me the willies. Methinks another OSX security bug is incoming.

Personally the first thing I do on a macOS install is remove pretty much every single Apple app I can. The quality of Apple's software is simply too low to take the risk of relying on it. Anybody who has had to fix their relatives iPhoto or iTunes would agree.

#7Somewhat tangential but if htop is unusable, I’ve always liked Glances:

Though it sounds like htop is a symptom not the problem.

I came for the filesystem bugs, I stayed for the absurd root exploit, but its the little crashes, rendering glitches, and feeling of general instability that made me fall in love with High Sierra...

I'm not a developer, but I knew developers were previously content with Macbooks usually running OSX or linux. Given so much unhappiness with OSX, and the inability to run linux on the USB-C macbook pros, what are developers generally doing?
The Apple hardware is nice, but it generally means you have to use OSX. Windows WSL is pretty convenient, but then you have to use Windows. Linux is, of course, great, but what hardware?

If your confidence is that low, why use MacOS at all?
