I used to use htop, but switched to glances at some point, because of a quicker-to-find-the-info-you-want interface.

  I use htop. I tried glances as I heard good things about it. It is nice, I like how it has more stuff -- disk, network. However it installed matplotlib, fonts-lyx, tk8.6, libjs-jquery-ui, python3-bottle, and a slew of other dependencies, not a big deal but something to watch for.

    Were you adding it through apt-get or pip? With apt-get it's fairly painless. apt-cache depends glances Depends: python-psutil Depends: <python:any> python:i386 python Depends: <python:any> python:i386 python Depends: python Depends: python-pkg-resources Depends: adduser Depends: lsb-base Recommends: python-jinja2

      apt-get. It was painless, and I have the diskspace so not a big deal. Looking at package properties I see it recommends a bunch of packages, so it installed those and their deps (this is Ubuntu 15.10): hddtemp, lm-sensors, python3-docker, python3-bottle, python3-pysnmp4, python3-influxdb ...

        optional dependencies are optional for a reason, no real reason to bring it up as a con.

          I just described by experience of installing it. It wasn't a huge issue, I installed them anyway after all.

  i just use terminals though, web-ui-everything is nice but also not all that convenient IMO since you need to forward ports 'n stuff.

    With services like ngrok the need to port forward isn't as big.
